Topic: I had a yucky week........
Ok so last week wasnt so good fro me.............
It started off with me in Urgent Care with upper right belly and back pain.....
I was luike CRAP.........GALLSTONES!!
Well they ended up doing an ultrasound and sure enough something was wrong in there....
They said they dont quite see andy stones yet bet there is "sludge and crystals"
GREAT!!
And then they took my blood to check on my pancreas and my liver ensymes came back elavated.....
He called me and asked if I had been exposed to Hepatitis recently!! I was like "NO, I dont think so!"
So he said that they would have to take some more tests this week......
Well I did some research on my own and found that some people that are taking to antidepressant Lexapro (i been on it for about 2 years) have been known to have elavated liver ensymes........so Im hoping thats all it is...............
AND THEN!!!!..........
I had to go BACK to the doctor with an AWFUL bladder infection right before the weekend......
URGH!!!!!!!! OUCH!! : ' )
So anyways I hope everyone ids doing better than me......lol
I will keep everyone updated.........when I find out more............
Topic: Goal Check!!
I was just wondering how everyone was doing on their goal............
1.How far are you from doctors goal? about 9lbs, Im now at about 179....
2. How far are you from YOUR goal? about 14lbs., I would love to be about 165
3. What size pants were you pre-op? a VERY tight 24
4. What size pants are you today? About a 12
5. What size pants would you like to get into to? maybe an 8
6. Are you planning on plastic surgery? YES! I would like my belly and boobies "fixed" ;)
7. How do you plan on paying for it? Well I already had my first consult with a plastics doc and they took some pics of my belly and submitted them to my ins. about a week ago. They said the whole process should take about a month. And as for my boobies, I think we are going to go with CARE CREDIT to help with the cost........

Topic: RE: Anyone think of getting pregnant after 1 year post op?
Hey guys thanks for the advice! I too have PCOS and went through a lot to get our daughter so I am hoping it will be easier this time. I currently have an implanon implant in my arm that is good for 3 years but we plan on having it removed once we plan to start trying. My surgeon wants us to wait at least until I am 1 year out and would prefer 2 years. We will see. Good luck Sherri!!

Good to see you.
How ya doin?
I'm down 90 lbs, just 17 to go to goal weight. I really trying to pump up the exercise on the lower body to build some muscle to fill in some of where the fat was. My thighs look terrible. I hate to say this but I think they looked better fat.
hugs,
Jen

Not getting preggers here, I'm too old!
Good luck to both of you ladies, but I would second Pam's opinon of talking to your doctor first. Some want you to wait 18 months.
There is also a pregnancy board on here too!

Topic: RE: been very sick
Oh honey....I'm sooooo sorry you are going through this! Kidney stone are not fun in and of themselves (I've had them twice, but had pain in the back with mine) I wonder if it's the cyst that is causing the stomach pain.....I hope you are feeling better.
Take care of you girl!
