WOW when I stepped on the scale this am it said 199!!! I am down 43 lbs since I stared this process. I am thrilled and excited!! I went out for breakfast with a friend and had scr eggs + a little cheese. This was actually my first restaurant meal...and I am going out with my daughter for dinner!
I have 59 lbs to go and I feel confident that I can do it. Wow, what a feeling.

Topic: anemic??
Hi,
I had blood work done a few months ago and found out I was anemic. So I was put on iron pills
3 times a day. After a month my iron has gone up from a 7 to a 9. Not good. Now I have to go through all kinds of test to find out why. Everything else is good. In fact my B-12 shots have been changed from every month to every 3 months. White cell count is perfect, liver, gall bladder, kidneys are perfect. All other levels are good. So my PCP who I love, is trying to find out why. He thinks I might have a small bleed some where like in the bowels or small intestines. (No bleeding in stool) Or maybe an ulcer. Or maybe I injured myself somehow. A few months ago I was carrying something heavy and I felt something pull around the new belly button area. (I had a tummy tuck in Nov.) It was quite painful for several days. My doc said it was a pulled muscle or possible scar tissue. It doesn't bother me anymore. So now I have to have the lovely colonoscopy and a endoscopy at the end of the month. Other than that I am just tired from the anemia., I won't let it get me down though. Life goes on. And I am not ready to roll over yet!!!
Take care all,
Sarah

Topic: Hip Replacement
Hi Everyone I just want to give you an update on my health..Most of you know that I have now lost 135 lbs. I am now having hip problems it turns out I need left hip replacement surgery on August 11, well they found out through blood test that I may have an infection in that hip and so on Monday I have to go to Hartford Hospital and have fluid taken out of the left hip to see if there is infection...by the way they take the fluid out by a looooong needle then they will let me know if my surgery date will need to be changed or not... (I just got the call there is no infection and the surgery is still on for Aug 11 I will be in HH until the Friday Aug.14th then I will be going into Woodlake Nursing home for 10 days - 2 weeks for the Rehab....

Topic: revision
Hi everyone
I had wls on 1/10/05/ lost 70lbs. but put 15 back on and no matter how much exercising I do or how much I diet I can't seem to take the weight off. I was wondering if anyone has had a revision and if so what is the protocol. I am at my wits end and am getting very depressed because of it. If anyone can give me some advice on what to do I surely would appreciate it
Thank you for your time,
Cindy

Hi everyone! I go to a nice support group at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London, CT. It is based out of the Yale New Haven Hosp. program but all are welcome.
The group meets on the 3rd Wed. of each month in an out of the way classroom. You will need to stop at the main desk to find out how to get to it.
I hope to see all of you this month.
