My thyroid

Mar 12, 2008

Just last week, I had some blood work done and got the results. The dr. said that my thyroid was off the charts one was super high and the other super low. He said it looked like I hadn't been on any medication but I have for years now and when he tested me I had been taking .250 for months. He thinks I am not absorbing it. He increased my dosage to .375 and I will test again soon. Anyone out there with similiar situation? I could use some advise. He also said if my thyroid was correct I would lost alot my weight. What can I do? HELP!!!!

Eating is really a chore. Actually drinking is down right painful. My head tells me take a normal bite and that I can eat a meal like my family but I don't because I know I can't. Drinking though, Damn I just want to chug down a Coke Zero so bad. But once again I don't cause I know I can't, mmm yuck. Anyways I am just whining as usual. I love everything else about this surgery, the weight lose is amazing. I feel my clothes getting bigger and bigger. Yepie Yeah!!!!! Keep in touch. Talk to ya'all real soon. Oh and start new job tomarrow at 6:30 a.m. , way too damn early.!!!!

well, we went to las vegas for New Years. It has been ok, I guess. A little tough with the family wanting to eat out all the time but I had some salmon and I felt really good. Going home tomorrow. Then get staples out on the 7th. I really think I will feel normal again after they are removed. They are healing right now and very unconfortable but I will live. Actually, this is nothing compared...... I will be starting a new job on the 20th and around the 28th I go back to school for internship classes, WOW!!!! This year is going to be awesome, Yeppie!!!! talk to ya all real soon.

the waiting game again

Nov 28, 2007

ok..... did the upper endoscopy and boy, was the an experience. No, not really. So, now I am waiting for Quilici's office to get the report and I will get my surgery date. I have had an interesting week. Monday I went to a support group meeting for WLS and was very disappointed. Because why you ask well, I guess it was intended for the patients of the local surgeon which is not me. My surgeon Quilici is in burbank and I live in the Palm Springs area. So when I got there the leader asked me who my Dr. was and then I was told to tell Quilici that all his patients will be charge a $25. fee to attend these meetings. Then on Wednesday I decided to attend a seminar on WLS that is ran by the local surgeon who is Dr. Bobby. Well in the beginning I started to get a little jealous. He was stating how many surgeries he has done, his success rate, and that he has had no complications at all. I was also liking the fact  that he is local with my Dr being over 2hours away I started to worry BUT then he stated a change that had just taken place with his practice and that was that there would be a PROGRAM FEE imposed now that NO insurance companies pay and that fee is 5500.00 for Gastric yeah 55 hundred dollars and 7000.00 for lap band. After he stated that, I began to smile and was very happy with my Dr. I know my Dr. is good at what he does I was just concerned with him being so far but I know everything will be fine.
