Sheryl, Thank God for the blessing that you have just received. I am so very happy that all of our prayers have been answered. I hope and pray that your health continues to improve and that you continue to have a fantastic weight loss. I don't know how that kudos board works, but there is a message on there for you. I am grateful to God to see someone as caring as yourself on this site. I pray that God continues to bless you.

i had a 'first' visit with a new gastro dr today. the news is FANTASTIC, STUPENDOUS & SUPERB! i do NOT have cirrhosis of the liver. my liver is very fatty & somewhat scarred from a lifetime of obesity. i do not have to have an endoscopy, think about a liver transplant or even consider having my surgery reversed. in fact he said my rny/gbp was the best thing i could have done for myself. WOOOHOOO!! he gave me a new medicine that, if it works well for me, i will take the rest of my life. it will not cure or fix my liver damage but it will, combined with continued weight loss & healthy eating, stop anymore from happening. i can never put into sufficient words how thankful i am to all of u for ur prayers & good wishes. i do know that ur outpouring of love changed my crisis into a grain of sand on a 5 mile beach. thank u all so much! thank u for being who u r...caring, warm, loving, sensitive & compassionate people. i am truly blessed to have had a successful wls, my extremely supportive hubby & children, a new granddaughter, a cardiologist who i now know will never steer me wrong, a very knowledgeable gastro dr, a surgeon with magic hands & AMOS. god bless each & everyone of u.

today was a great day! i am so happy i had to share my good news. my dear sister & brother in law came in from albuquerque last nite & immediately noticed my weight loss. today i had a check up at the cardiologist & he was all smiles. we went over my blood tests from yesterday & WOW! my numbers r sure going down outside AND inside my body! in july my cholesterol was 240 & my triglycerides were 195. today my cholesterol is 187 & my triglycerides r 136!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!! of course there was lots of hugging & kissing going on. his nurse couldnt believe how much weight i lost & that was from just looking at me, not knowing what the scale said. more hugging & kissing lol. the dr is sending me to a liver specialist right here in las vegas that he sent his own parents to. my appt is feb 5th. so i cancelled the mayo appt til after i see the dr.
