Leak?

Hello!!

I have had a leak and I am going through a lot with the sleeve. I am wanting to find someone who has been down or is currently going down this road. It's rough. I have been reaching out and receiving amazing support from other sleeved friends Dec Sleevers are nothing short of AMAZING!! I think it would be nice chat or text with someone who has been here.

I am glad to hear you'll be seeing a urologist! That is who took care of all of my problems!

Good to hear about your appointment with your PCP and her referral to a urologist. Brings hope to this awful situation!! No one wants to be in pain if they don't have to!!

Sannah,

I'm so happy that the urologist is able to see you sooner!! That's a piece of good news! :)

I really don't have a lot of answers yet on my thing.. So I've got a "nodule" on my thyroid that can be felt, but.... what they are concerned about is the 4 "parathyroid" glands on the sides of said thyroid.. The test indicates that I have an parathyroid "adenoma" ??

So anyway I am going the hospital Monday morning for imagining ( Sestamibi scan ) of these glands to see which ones have it so they can remove them.

But from what I've read today and been told these things are not to bad. Which is good and I might feel a whole lot better which is great!

This is horrible but the only thing I'm tripping about is one of the "side affects" of having this done is weight gain! :( I know thats shallow of me because there are other things I should worry about but that one is just messing with my head right now.

Anyway. I hope your night is going well.

Snuggles and kisses to Venla from the weird (and lumpy) lady,

Hello,

Well it sounds like you unfortunately have some medical stuff ahead eh? Is this a result of surgery or weight loss? The end results sound positive. I can completely understand why you would be feeling worried about weight gain. Bummer deal!! Is the weight gain a for sure deal? Shouldn't your sleeve be enough to combat any weight gain?

My night is amazing. The medicine for esophageal spasm is AMAZING! I are food without severe pain, nausea or vomiting. This is not normal for me. I want to scream from the mountain too!! It felt so GREAT!! I was so excited I called my hubby at work to celebrate.

I hope the test tomorrow is helpful!!

I have little V extra love from the weird and lumpy lady!! :)

Best,

Sannah

So here's an update!!!

Today has been filled with tons of answers!!

I have esophageal spasms. Most likely from the stents I had in. I received this diagnosis and treatment today. The greatest things is the medicine works!! I was able to eat WITHOUT severe pain, nausea or vomiting. I have not been able to eat normally in a long time. I am SO HAPPY!! I can eat and not suffer. I feel like a human today.

Nephrologist said to take these meds for a year and pass my stones at home alone. ???? My PCP said see the Urologist and get a second opinion!!! I called and there is a month wait!!! The dr reviewed my record and said I need to be seen sooner. I am being seen Thursday!! ????

I am SO EXCITED AND HAPPY!! I can now eat like normal Sleevers and there is an end in sight!!!

Awesome news sannah! Reading this just put the biggest smile on my face :) So glad your night is going well!

And thank you for squeezing that little love bug for me! Boy, I miss having a little one running around.

Haha Sannah,

I'm almost 47, so no more for me!

You know we talked about fostering and possibly adopting another child a couple of years ago, But girl...we are with a teenager and one about to be a teenager! my husband and I now are looking forward to them growing up and leaving the nest (especially after days like today)

So we can have some life together afterwards to go places and do things,oh and relax!

I do hope to be a Nana one day though!

Glad you had a good day! Eating like a normal sleever, wahoo!

Little ones are precious, luckily I am a Nana and I have my own little man to snuggle!!

This is awesome and made me whole day!!! :) I am so excited you are finally seeing some light at the end if the tunnel.

Sannah,

I haven't been on in a minute so I wanted to take the time to drop in and send well wishes and good cheer your way.

I'm so relieved to hear that you're feeling and doing better! Hooray for you. I hope that the issues with the kidney stones are worked out ASAP.

Just being able to eat and feel normal is such a wonderful accomplishment.

So glad to hear that the little one and the DH are doing good as well.

Hooray for small victories!
