updates on me - I rank with supermodels!

First the good news.  I went to neurologist today to find out why I'm having numbness in my lower legs, predominantly the left leg.  he said the problem I am having is common in super models!  Not enough fat anymore around the nerve that is located behind the knee, so when I cross my legs, it irritates the nerve and causes it to go numb.  So, yay, I'm like a super model!!!!!!  to fix?  Quit crossing my legs.   As for the pain/discomfort in my midsection:  Actually my neuro appt was in same building as Dr. Baker's office, so I just stopped in there to leave a message, and what do know?  He was sitting at the front desk when I walked in, so I got to talk to him directly about the symptoms ( I've never had a problem with getting to talk to him on the phone, just wasn't expecting that he would have time to chat with me right then).  Anyway, I get to go on a 4 day liquid diet!  WOOHOO!!!!!  Gotta eliminate the obvious posibilities, irritated pouchy from eating too fast or not chewing well enough or whatever.  If, after 4 days, I return to solids and still have probs, then I am to call and he would probably then do a scope.  I don't want to be scoped, so I just know this 4 day liquids is going to cure me.  The power of positive thinking! By the way, I do love my RNY!  This has been the best thing I have ever done for myself.  Even with these minor issues, I still feel better than I have in a very long time.  And these minor issues have turned out to be nothing to worry about.  Just my body adjusting.  As of this week, I have lost 100lbs since I got back into the WLS process last summer.  Just 17/18 more to lose to get to 100lbs lost since surgery.  My body truely is a wonderland!

Hey Christi....you are just super anyway!! I hope the 4 day LD helps with the poroblems you have been having. Please let us know how you are doing. Congrats on the 100 pound weight loss...wooohooo!!!  That is just wonderful! Hugs, connie d 

Thanks Connie!  I just know the 4 day LD will get me back on track and no further tests will be needed.   I suppose I should update my ticker.  And get some new pics up.

That ROCKS!!!  Way to go GF!!!  I am so proud of you and your success with WLS!!!   Here's hoping the 4 day cures the tummy!!! Hugs!

Thank goodness I don't experience much hunger yet!  but boy oh boy do I want to chew.

Christi, That's good for others to know to if their having problems with numbness. We learn so many things from WLS. Glad to hear you got to talk to Baker, Good luck on the 4 day LD and I hope it works. And congrat's on the 100 pounds, Whoohoo. Yes, you better update your avatar. Kelly

Thank you!  You have been doing a great job yourself!
