Yes i believe its low although i must research on how to decipher all the lab scores. Or ranges. They are testing me for the brca genes but looks like mastectomy is what docs are leaning towards. mri is monday so still not sure if i will need chemo. Its funny when doc asked if i felt tired re: low ironsymptoms. And i thought, "me tired, mom of 4, full time job, wife...i dont know any other way to be!" And i mean that with all sincerety.  Oh and i am ER neg, PR pos, and HER2 neg.

Ohhhh thank u thank u Chris. Ive been researching this having cancer postop wls and not much out there. Shouldve been on these boards from the getgo. Thank u for all the great info. The day they did my biopsy and found the calcifications  that were suspicious  i kinda knew. U kno like a sixth sense. I had a dream the night prior to recieving the docs call. I dreamt the doc told me i had breast cancer and i needed a masectomy. I am at peace and ready to fight this "bully!" I have a strong faith in the Lord because i cant do it any other way. And when i told my four kids, a big weight just lifted. Because like any mom, they are my everything. My hubby is a great support and now i have u and great support via OH. This is such a whole other world. Makes u appreciate life that much more sorry to ramble. Thanks again Have  a wonderful day.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Thanks for the love n support

Thank u for theencouragement.  Its a whole other world. And i havent even started this journey yet . I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks for the input.  Yes the nurse did say he has done this procedure on postop wls patients. And that for us who have had wls, we stay in hospital overnite for observation, whereas non wls patients usually are on an outpatient basis.

Good Morning All,

Well heres an update to all the tummy pain I've been having. 

First off had RNY Oct of 2012 went from 330 to now 207, still trying to get to goal, and I am 5-8.

  Nurse says tummy pain may be due to narrowing bile ducts.  Something common in folks who no longer have gallbladder, which mine came out in '98.  I've been researching this procedure, but wanted to know of others who have had it, and what did recovery look like, and if any side effects.  Nurse says the doc is experienced with folks who've had WLS as our anatomy makes the procedure a bit difficult.  Says that doc makes for provisions for drainage away from the pancreas, to not disturb it, and worse not result in pancreatitis.  So now i am on protonix, she will check my liver stats, and probably the next time they call me will be to schedule the ECRP.  Please advise, and as always thanks for input, time, advice, prayers....thank you

Thank u...i learn more here than anywhere else.

Love indian, ur funny. I did the same too, thought i couldnt live without popeyes chicken but its kinda true outta sight outta mind. I need to use that with other junk i eat. But totally relate to ur situation. The thought of the new eating postop seemed so suffocating.  I constantly  asked my frriend who was postop, will i ever enjoy food again, and she said yes. Just in small portions. And now i am 15mos postop rny started at 330 now at 209 im 5-8 still not at goal, but i wont give up trying. Also ur tastebuds may change. Ive probably had popeyes twice since surg. And dont crave it. And had just a drummette. U will do great. Baby steps. See u on the losers bench!!!
