Just to keep things interesting...

I was noticing bruising around one of my gallbladder lap scars. It looks like it has healed nicely but there was bruise around it - a lovely, lovely shade of yellowish green. I really need shoes to match, but I digress. I notice that if I push on it...there is like a sort of round hard spot under the scar. Now having 5 lap scars from WLS, a 2" scar down my spine from back surgery earlier in the year and 3 other lap scars from my gallbladder surgery...I can tell - this ain't scar tissue. So...I'm stopping by my surgeon's office tomorrow a.m. to get 'er looked at. Wonder if it is a hematoma or something like that. Yes, it is a little sore if you push on it. Wonder if it has to get lanced or drained or something. Ewww. After the doc's office...I'll stop off at the hospital and pick up my "milkshake" - 2 lovely containers of barium for me to drink tomorrow night and Friday morning before my CT scan on my side to figure out where my side pain is coming from. Then Tuesday is my appointment with the gastroenterologist to discuss if he thinks I have an ulcer or what. He'll get a copy of the CT scan as well as my surgeon. So many freaking tests. And more coming in the future! Later in November got a nuclear med test for my parathyroid and then a routine mammogram in December. Fun, fun, and more fun. I'm surprised I'm not going to glow in the dark from all the scans, xrays, nuclear waste, etc... Kathy

I just want to wish you the best with this.I am going in on monday to have a ct scan done because for some strange reason i keep peeing blood .

I am always scared that i blew it cause sometimes i can eat more than others . but i am still loseing so i must still be ok. good luck Tammy
