I am so relieved to hear that there doesn't seem to be anything serious to find at the moment. It's great news that your EKG is normal...a good electrical system is an important thing to have ;o****ep us posted...and though I didn't comment on the other MMWI thread....congrats on dropping 5# this week! ~Suz

Well, it definitely sounds like they are trying their best, but how frustrating to still not know! Good luck with the gallbladder issue and your 18 month check up.

I know right....and I appreciate you all!! Thru it alll...think and think and thin! LOL

I'm glad that you are doing ok. Doctors, sometimes....that's all I can say... Again, thanks for letting us know how things went for you. I think I can speak for all of us by saying we are all here for you through THICK and THINK! Be safe and take care of yourself! Hugs, Laura

Hey ladies...thank you so much for your prayers, concerns and thoughts!! I can not begin to tell you how much I appreciate this board!! You guys are so a great support system! Basically they still don't know what is causing me to have all the swelling, my ct of the abd and pelvis showed that the swelling was not only in my lower right leg, but also in my abdomen and thighs as well. The right side of my heart is mildly enlarge but functioning normally (had to get a echocardigram). But my internal medicine doctor still wanted me to see a cardiologist to be on the safe side. So I went there today and he did an EKG and did not find anything abnormal. So we still don't know. He said it could be due to be heavy so long that my breathing was strained and caused the right side of my heart to have to work too hard to get blood to my lungs (never had any symptoms of that so I am not really buying his answer). He also stated that my asthma could cause the problems as well. I have to go back to see the internal medicine doctor on Next Tuesday and I guess she will decide what to do from there. Sounds like after all this poking, proding and running from doctor to doctor, the answer is still the same...they don't know and don't worry about it. Also in the midst of all this testing, they found that I have small gallstones. I am not having any symptoms or anything from it so she is not pressed to do anythign about it. But my surgeron said that with gb patients, they usually treat the gallstones aggressively becuase if the stones move out of the gallbladder, it is usuallly treated by operating thru the stomach which is not an option for gb patients. My 18 month check up is on the 31 and I will know what he wants to do with the gallstones at that time. I feel fine but I am still having lots of swelling and I am bit frustrated because I am still at square one. I am pleased that the internal medicine doctor has done a very through job of trying to find out the problem and give me a solution. So if anything different comes out of my appts next week, I will definitely let you ladies know. Again, thanks for the support and concern! You all are the best EVER!!
