Now this......

Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday!!!


So yesterday I go in to follow up on my labs and some breathing issues, come to find out I have Asthma????

I swear I thought I was a crackhead after that breathing treatment

I just thought my breathing was hard because I was fat!!

That's what I get for self diagnosing. Now Im on two inhalers


My Vitamin D level is still low currently at a 19 but it was a 7,  3 months ago so I'm making process!!! Now I'm taking 100,000 i.u. a week for 12 more weeks

B-12 is low so now I'm on monthly shots!!


Getting ready for the WLS has been a blessing in disguise.

Hi Kells,
I was diagnosed with asthma about a month before surgery too.  I had 2 inhalers that I had to take everyday and pills.  I was really upset with myself because it just seemed like my health was deteriorating rapidly right before the surgery that I was getting to improve my health.

But thank God that after having some breathing complications in the hospital post surgery and receiving a couple of nebulizer (sp) treatments I no longer needed the advair and the other inhaler after about a week post op.

So I say all of this to say it could be related to your weight and prayerfully it will resolve itself after the surgery. 

Good luck!

Thanks!! That's exactly how I was feeling yesterday but I'm glad that I'm taking steps to fix it!!

Sorry to hear you're having such a rough go of it but it is a blessing that you are finding all of this out now though.

Hang in there.  It does get better.

 Thanks!

I was put on breathing treatments while I was in the hospital.  I got a pulmonary clearance pre-op and I know it wasn't perfect but it didn't indicate asthma.  Then after I had surgery I was on a nebulizer every 4 hours until release from the hospital. 

Hang in there.  It will all work out in the end.  Get the vitamin thing under control because you are a likely candidate for a deficiency post op.  I was fine pre-op but now I"m low on vitamin D. The vitamin D pills are nasty.

The Vitamin D pills I have are gel caps so I don't taste them

but those Calcium pils are HUGE!!!

You know I am coming thru with the tough love, right?

LET this be a LESSON to you!  If you are not planning on going to school for 8 years then doing a reseidency rotation at a hospital to become an MD, STOP playing one!!!!!

Even AFTER WLS - regular checkups and going to the doc when you have problems is KEY!!!!!  It's the 21st century!!!  no need to be home making remedies with methaliate and mecruicome - pick up the phone and make an appt!!!!!

Yes Maam!!! Lesson learned and not trying to take any repeat courses!!


So you mean to tell me taking Castor Oil doesn't cure everything?? lol

  you need your ass whooped.  damn Castor Oil........
