LOL, Thanks, Michelle...yeah, it does seem like just yesterday but a LOT has happened in the last two years.
Glad to see you posting, missed you around here.

It takes time to recover from all you have been thru...I'm just glad you are on the road to recovery.

Of course, I am now labeled as a "complex medical syndrome" person, since Dr. X can't treat his disorder without making Dr. Y's disorder worse, and I won't take anything that even remotely cause nausea.
Pretty cool.
Just think, in another 5#, I'll have to go back to paying attention to what I eat, and not spend every waking moment trying to eat. Weird.
And yet again, this all had nothing to do with my WLS or my TYPE of WLS.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
Oh jeese, Michelle...didn't know it was caused by medication!
We're ZEBRAS! (You know the adage doctors are taught in med school..."if you hear hoof beats, think horses not zebras", we'll some of us ARE zebras!
While my reaction to a medication wasn't nearly so drastic, I did have one that was waking me up halfway thru the night and not letting me go back to sleep...turns out it was a SLEEP AID!
I know you don't want to get to the "I have to lose weight" side but to be honest, you got dangerously close to being too damned skinny!

Actually, considering what my one year labs looked like from this surgeon, it's a definite improvement. While he doesn't list everything, it is far more complete than it use to be. So yeah, those were my labs.
