    sick and they cant find anything

    Wow, pierced, sounds similar to mine. I had the Hida scan, but they didn't have all the meds needed for the scan, so it came back normal. The GI doc even said in my notes that due to not a complete scan, my results of normal may not be normal. So tomorrow i go for another scan. This one being about 3 hours. I dont know why they tried the HIDA scan knowing they didn't have the meds to do ot completely, and won't for awhile due to a national shortage. My doc also said in my notes, i need a consult with a gi surgeon....so we shall see. It's just so frustrating, ya know. Thanks for sharing your story...was the surgery to remove it bad, or was it easy prazy?
  3. I am so depressed, my HIDA scan came back fine, no issues therr. The docs don't believe me, even though im to the point of not keeping anything done. I feel so discouraged, like the issue is never going to end, or they wont find what's wrong.

    So, saw a GI, and he ordered a HIDA scan, i get result back tomorrow. Here's hoping something finally comes up. Oooh, also found out rapid weight loss leads to gallbladder issues, kind of wish i had known before hand. I would still have had the surgery done, but would have not been as shocked when tjese issues started coming up.
  5. Im so sorry about your leak, im a year out and the idea of having one scares me. I am currently in the hospital. Can't keep any food down, barely liquid, came to the ER, stayed 4 days, went home. I was released even though i was still not eating. I was released on the base of all blood work coming back clran, ct scan clesn and ultrasound. Anyhow, 3 days later i end back up here, amd.now working with a GI doc. I just had a HIDA scan done today, becase low and behold, the GI tells me, gallbladder issue run high when you.lose weight quickly and large amounts. I too wish they would discuss long term complications during your preop interview and procrss.

    Pierced, that sounds awful. I am.so sorry. My surgeon said there was nothin wrong biomechinacally, so they dont.know. I feel like just giving up...i really do.

    They said all levels are fine, which is weird, because if i were fine, i wouldn't be here. My CNA said something to me along the lines of getting a second opinion

    Ooo, im so sorry, your going through issues too. I hope you get better soon. Thank you for the advice, because that's exactly what they tried to do, i feel so bad, my family is worried and im so weak im fainting, but yet nothing is wrong!?!?!? Makes sense to me a 26 year old female faints to me, and can't keep down...that's normal too.

    NSV fail

    I was worried I was the only one with the bat wings. I think im going to take someone advice and start lifting little weight while watching tv, it cant hurt and every little bit helps right??

    crap

    I feel like crap a lot...but than I also feel okay a lot of the time. I tend to vomit a lot, Im having acid issues in my baby tummy. Which causes me to feel dizzy a lot and lightheaded. With all of that said, I still wouldnt trade not having the surgery,some days I really miss eating like a normal person, but than I remeber my starting weight and size, and where I am right now, and it replaces the head hunger. Im glad to be getting healthy, even if it means having a baby tummy for life.

    January 2013 Sleevers?

    how much are you working out?? Are you really pushing yourself during it? I noticed when I excerise, if its too hard of a workout, I will stall, and than lose a lot the next week. I dance twice a week, and than do a dance tape once a week, along with walking during the day.

    I stalled for a few days but I finally broke it. For me, it came down to eating real food. I think my body went into starvation mood, and I finally am kicking it into gear.
  19. Jessi_Rae

    Any recommendations what to start with

    For me, I dance twice a week and than walk another day. I am almost 3 weeks post op but couldn't wait to get back in the dance studio. I just modified some of my moves so I dont bend as much. Its a modern/lyrical class

    So I weighed myself this morning, and didn't believe the scale, so I stepped on it again. I really can't believe it. I was sleeved on 1/29 and weighed in at 311.2 and this morning my scale says 277.8....wow is all I can say.

    Has anyone noticed a jump in their body tempeture? I've notice at night my body temp goes up by 2 degrees for no reason.
