Hollykim, You need to look at Fae's post.
She 's already on a rigidly controlled diet for MSUD.If you don't know what that is ,you do need to do a search before telling someone-anyone- they are eating wrong. This conditions necessitates, for quality of life, the replacement of many proteins with other foods and special amino acid blend.She Can't change WHAT she eats.It's dictated by her many medical conditions.
People who are MO do not need our reactions to be "routine" answers we have all received in times past by our medical providers.
Your advice on seeking assistance and surgery outcomes are like rest, spot on.
WLS was developed to assist people with metabolic issues and is the only long term assistance that is available. Thankfully, the surgeries have changed with innovations in surgery techniques.There are now a wide range of surgical options.
White Dove, Removing the ovaries, could be an option,for some people, possibly even most that have already had complete families.I had already had 2 TIA's(ministrokes) with that GYN said i was to never take hormonal replacement therapies-risk too great. Yes Removing the ovaries produces a big set of problems
I had many large fibroids at both surgeries.several the size of a grapefruit..w/hysterectomy there were TMTC,( too many to count.) Uterus was the size of a 6 month fetus..
There are now new treatments that SAVE the uterus for Fibroids.. Bitter Melon is a fruit, i get it in a capsule.and it controls my blood sugar both spikes and lows.ALSO "The Southern Herbalist", Darryl Patton has a video on u tube., using huckelberry tea for both blood sugar and blood pressure control- it is a modulator.BY Modulator meaning is it lowers the highs and raises the low.blueberry is a close cousin and the leaves and small branches of it will do the same thing..
What is important for every obese person to understand there is HELP..The assistance given to me, may not be the same as for another person,yet both be right for each one.
.Fae has several things going on, she posted.. and she truly needs medical advise and intervention. Its really hard to cut calories when protein is limited by diet for MSUD. WLS could give her the answer she seeks.
Thanks, I had seen PCOS referred to but never knew what it was. Would removing the ovaries improve quality of life? Mine were removed when I was 43 due to fibroids. My doctor said that the ovaries were not affected, but he had had so many cases of ovarian cancer in his patients, that he advised me to remove them. That caused its own set of problems.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Thank you! I am trying to stay hydrated for sure!
That's great that you have received positive feedback!
Thats so very true...we don't usually tell people about our other surgeries!
I'm looking forward to being far enough out where people won't ask or know me as obese!
I have heard others say that the surgery is the easy way out and it makes my angry because they don't know all that goes into the process-before and after surgery.
