It'll take awhile to get back regularly, but I feel like I've been far far away.

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

I'm still reeling from the fact that the thing that was making me the sickest was a med that most other people take easily. Having read up AGAIN on the contraindications, I prolly should never touched it. EVER. AT ALL. And that's with my long pre-op history. I am ok on the eensiest dose made, but when I have fully recovered, I won't refill.

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.

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!

Don't just brought your labs as I hit send.

OK, where are your REAL labs. These can't be Ramsey labs and there's only 3 pages.

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.
