Hey, Need To Talk To You Guys



Recommended Posts

HEY everyone, well, I went to my primary doctor yesterday and She gave me the "Okay" to proceed with my requirements I need for surgery. Here the problem. For some Reason the have found "PROTEIN" in my urine. This is the second time! I have to go back and see her on Tuesday to discuss medication. I'M a little worried because I Really don't understand what or Why this is happening. I have been diagnosed with diabetes. Could this be the cause of the Protein? Is having this problem going to Keep me from getting my surgery? If not will the protein go away like my diabetes will? I'M lost, I know I will discuss it with my primary doc on Tuesday, but in the meantime, in-between time I need some advice )-:.

Diabetes affects the entire body's organs so the proteinuria could be associated with the diabetes affecting the kidneys. I would think this would be even more reason to have the surgery. Whatever is going on is in the early stage or may be false positive so don't let it consume your thoughts until you go back to the doc. When is your surgery?

Thank you Suznc, I am Trying not to let it get to me. Trying to remain optimistic about the whole ordeal. /-:. I Still have a few More things to get done before it is submitted to my insurance company. I haven't been assigned a date yet but it looks like some time in February is what they are telling me.(-:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
