Concerns ...

Hi everyone! My surgeon's office called today and told me they want me to have a Dexa Scan to check out my bone density. Has anyone had this done yet? I don't really know what to expect! They're concerned about my elevated parathyroid hormone levels. Also, has anyone been vomitting more often lately? I haven't had to throw up for months. But just this week I've thrown up 3 times already. I don't know what the deal is! It's been after I've eaten foods I eat all the time, so it's nothing I'm eating that is unusual. Anyone else still throwing up??? Deanna

Don't sweat the Dexa Scan it's no big deal, I have no idea about the vomiting though. Maybe you need to go back and eat with a baby fork and spoon again and see if you are just trying to rush through your meal. Hugs. ANDI

If it's the common test they do, which is what I think it is they stick your heal in a thing and take a pic of you bone density. its not a big deal at all.. I have had one done myself. Yes, in truth I have been throwing up a lot more than I use to.. I think its because I have eaten to much or to fast each time.. I think I am getting lazy at measuring and how fast I am eating since I got to my goal. I also think I have tried to eat a little more and I have gotten a lot of those.. opps ate to much feelings. When I pay closer attention it doesnt seem to happen but I think I threw up 6 times last week.. 2 times in one day off of two different meals. I am trying to slow down and listen to my body more about being fool.. seems to be better this week.. I only threw up once from eating a carrot that was to hard for my tummy. I do have a very sensitive pouch though.. I dump on a lot of different things.

I have to get it every year. I have very bad back and lots of holes in my bones. I threw up this week but only once. (it was with chicken) (strange) I have to get blood work done this week as well. so I dont know why but can relate
