Finally Blood Work Looking Some Better

Feb 26, 2009

Well since December I have been going back and forth to the dr about elevated liver enzymes even to the point there is now a specialist involved.  Well I had stopped the cholesterol meds and after a month there was no change and last week the dr indicated that after having more blood work done on the 23 of Feb if they were not better then I would have to have a liver biopsy.  Well I had stopped taking my anti depressant a week ago as my dad who is a pharmacist suggested they could be the culprit.   So my dr called me yesterday and said that after my levels being 5 x  the normal for the past 2 1/2 months they are now coming down.  They dropped over half since the last set was done.  Now hopefully they are going to continue to trend down and get back to normal.  I was so worried about have the liver biopsy done but I knew that in order to find out what was going on it would be necessary if the levels were still up.  I guess after the WLS our bodies just metabolize different drugs differently now.  I knew that from having read the posts about some meds but generally it appeared it was due to getting correct blood levels in that person's system in order to mange their condition. 

Anyway good news for now and just hope it contiues to get better.  Other news weight loss has slowed but I have gotten back in the pool and I know I am developing muscle mass so I guess flabby vs firm will weigh a little more for now unti the body decides to let go of some more weight.  I am in a size 12 to 14 pant and large top.  I am so glad to be back in normal size clothes.
