as a lab person I can tell you not to worry too much. High Protein can be caused by several things, even your diet. just relax and wait to see where it goes.

I hope all is well also - but I will say it is worth it to take the time to see the specialist.

I had an issue with my WBC being high, and it was important to investigate the issue and make sure it was safe for me to have surgery. We still don't know for sure what is wrong, and it is irritating, but they did come to the conclusion that it was safe for me to go forward with WLS.

it delayed me a year almost in full and I am not going to lie, many tears were shed. it was hard all those months to not know if I would make it to surgery, but I did.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
