Update: Having some non surgery related issues.

Mar 01, 2011

First of all I have stalled.  Mid January at about 192 and my weight remains in the 190's.  

This is the first time I have gone a week with no weight loss and then a month with no weight loss.  
I'm happy I'm in a 12/14 and feel like if I don't loose any more I'll still be very happy.  

However I remember holding up those 12's and 14 jeans and saying they will never fit me.  Now I hold up them and think they are too big but they fit perfect.  Something is up, I don't really know what that's all about.  Maybe because I've stalled.  

In December I started getting constipated having 2 days between BM and lots of straning and pain and didn't feel like I got it all out.  
The end of Jan I started having incontenance and pain when I urinate and finally blood in my urine and that sent me to a urologist.  He didn't give me anything for the fevors and pain just a CT so I went to my PCP who diagnosed me with a UTI. The CT showed a 2mm kidney stone. During this time I had gone 9 days with no BM I was very bloated and looked 4 months pregnant. So 2 days after seeing my PCP about the UTI  I went to the ER in severe pain in my belly and back thinking it was from the kidney stone and they treated my pain with morphine and sent me home with a RX for percocet and told me to see a gastro Dr for constipation.  The Gastro Dr they referred me to was quick to schedule me a colonoscopy leaving his office there was a car parked extreemly close to mine so much that i could not open my car door to get my 2 yr old in her car seat.  The guard called the police and i moved my daughter's car seat to the passenger side and sat in the front passenger side and waited for the police tho I could have just climbed over the seat they were already on their way.  He came and went in to find the driver and came out with my Dr.  Who refused to move the car and the cop wouldn't do anything about it.  He also said "she thinks i'm a pain in the ass now? I'm doing her colonoscopy in 2 weeks"  WTH  
I scheduled an appointment with a new Dr who put me on Align and said there is no indication that you need to have a colonoscopy but I will do it to give you peace of mind if you need it.  

I've been taking the Align probiotics and I'm happy to say yesterday I had 3 BM however sad to say I was in severe pain and treated the area with simple buttpaste diaper rash cream and happy again to say my butt doesn't hurt today but then again I have not had a BM today.  

I'm planning on scheduling with a proctologist so see if there is anything he or she can tell me that might help.  


Other than the poopy issues I'm great.  

In October I had a branch block procedure on my lower back to temp paralize 8 lower back nerves.  It was a test and if the pain went away i;d have those nerves killed.  It worked and I had my 4 right lumbar nerves killed branch block in Nov and my left side in December.  I was in severe pain but thinking that it was my chronic back pain and never would have guessed it was a UTI Kidney Stones or Constipation and now that I dont have a UTI, Kidney Stone is not the issue per the Dr's, and constipation is sort of under control.  My pain in my pack is neerly gone so that means the nerve kill procedures worked!  

I feel very blessed....
