    Piplula got a reaction from LindaS in Do you ever..   
    Not recognize yourself? This may sound paranoid and honestly at the time it was, but here it is. I was shopping and kept noticing this person's reflection in windows and the occasional mirror out of the corner of my eye. And finally I thought myself..well I have had enough of this follow me so I whipped around and guess who was there..the reflection of myself . So I had been all freaked out because apparently I was following myself ..didn't even recognized own image...weird I know..but now when people don't recognize I get it. So remember..if you think someone is following you, just turn around it probably is your own shadow! LoL

    Piplula got a reaction from Butterthebean in B12 supplementation   
    It is very very rare to have B12 toxicity. Yes, it is Water soluble, but it is stored in the liver..unlike Vitamin C which if you get excess you do pee out. The only thing I can think with B12 toxicity is diarrhea which is never fun and potential blood clots in the legs..although I personally have never seen this in my patients. I still think it's pretty rare to see toxicity from B12...but it never hurts to know your numbers and discuss with your doctor ..and certainly if you are having symptoms get to your doctor for am assessment.

    Piplula got a reaction from Satchel in B12 supplementation   
    Nah ...you aren't unusual ..well maybe a little..;P But I was not prescribed B12 either. And my levels were just fine with my daily Multivitamin ..just a plain old Women's Centrum 1x per day. So again..as I have said before..It would be nice if some panel of docs got together and made protocols for this surgery just like they do with heart attack, stroke, ect ect ..so we have some continuity of care across the board.

    Well since I forgot to put up a picture at 9 months picture, so technically it's a 10 month picture. I have currently lost 131#. I haven't updated my status on here and I will correct that shortly. Thought I would post some pictures from beginning until now. This tool will work for you! I am not saying I didn't have set backs and everything wasn't perfect on my journey, but it is working. I am thankful I took the leap.
