Hey everyone: I hope you are all doing great!!! I have had a few problems lately. For the last several months when I'm on my cycle I bleed from my rectum as well. It has had me concerned but never did anything about it. Well Sunday I started bleeding more from there than from my regular cycle. I went to Summit ER and they set me up to have a colonoscopy for today. I went in this morning and had it done. Good news is no polyps but bad news is I'm a mystery. Well of course, I wasn't bleeding anymore. My cycle started last Thursday and by this morning it was pretty much over. I have to redo the colonoscopy like the second day I'm on my cycle next month. He checked for all kinds of different things and just can't figure it out. This started before my GB surgery so I know it has nothing to do with each other. Just keep me in your prayers please that we can get to the bottom of this soon and find out what the problem is. Also, I've been stuck on a plateau for almost a month. I was at 273. The scale this morning showed 270 so that makes 70 pounds since surgery. I was personally hoping for a higher weight loss by now but oh well....I'm very thankful that I am losing though. Also, that lovely stuff I had to drink yesterday to clean out my colon probably helped to take a couple of pounds off of me. I was wearing a size 30/32 for pants and shirts, my mom just bought me a size 18/20 shirt and it fits. WOW!!!! Due to my intertube (lol) around my tummy, pants are a size 22 right now. I'm excited about my insurance I have now, Benefit Management, because there is a very high chance they will remove the excess skin once I reach my goal. Oh and my hair........yiyiyi, falling out now!!! My hair is so thin. I can't wait for the days when the new growth starts back! I think my stomach is stretched passed it's one ounce now. I can drink about four ounces at a time now. I've been bad with not exercising these last couple of weeks. When I get home from work I have just been going to bed. But I'm about to start picking back up on it. I know that makes a difference in weight loss too. Ok....I'm still kinda woozie from my twilight sedation from the test this morning, so i'm heading back off to bed for a cat nap! Christie 340/270/170
