Wow, what dedication on your part! I'm know it sucks not having a true diagnosis yet, but in cases like yours we always treat everything it could be, and then start working backwards in terms of ruling stuff out. *hugs*

I love that philosophy! Do no harm, treat worst case scenario and then use all factors to figure out what's going on. And that's what they are doing. I personally just do better when I understand why things are happening. I understand why the process is going the way it is bit am worried we aren't nailing down a diagnosis yet. Time will tell. Test is over and a little more relaxed.

I was supposed to take my children on vacation beforentals my masters program starts next Thursday and that's causing some bummed feelings. But health is more important and we can find something fun locally later maybe.

Thank you! We do what we must. It was a must ;)

I am so sorry you don't have answers but glad your pneumonia is better.

I hope you get good news tomorrow and an A on your exam.

Happy Birthday! It is going to be a great year.

Thank you! It's going to be an Awesome year! For you too :)

Well, there'should been no vacation. I'm still in the hospital. I took my final exam in here (she faxed it to my nurse) They still aren't 100% sure on anything except the pneumonia. They were going to release me but my pulse has been 36-40 all day so I'm being held for observation . I get an echocardiogram in the morning and we'll see...

Thanks for the well wishes everybody

Thank you! It's pretty odd to me as well. They are trying to get my heart rate above 60 but it keeps dropping. On a good note, grades were posted today and I got a 98% on the test I took in here and an overall 95%in the class. So I passed all 3 prerequisites with flying colors and as long as I get out by Thurs, I can walk in orientation with my head held high!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
