Topic: Protein shakes?
Wondering if anybody can suggest a high protein drink that has done well for them after weight loss surgery? I found one that has 24 grams of protein and my doctor said it is great!! If you want to know what I found, let me know. Wondering what others have tried.

Hi - I have had MS for a long time - I was diagnosed in june of 06 - But  I can remember being sick with it for at least ten years -before they finally figured my condition out... See it seems if you are over wieght - you are either depressed or unable to controll your appetite- So everthing that happens to you is because your FAT-  Well throw that ole "Fatigue from MS" in there and I was told I was Fat And Lazy...(Actually my Doctor said, "Lora you need to use your arms more and push away from the table" )  Thank God for a hubby and kids that loved me and believed that at times- I was really so tired I could hardly move.  Also a new Doctor that sent me to a neurologist after I told him my Left side was numb and every time I took a hot shower I felt like passing out... The moral of this story is = I think that being over weight has cause me more problems than anything else - Also My neurologist told me flat out, "wieght loss surgery is the best thing you can do for You &  your family!"  See she feels like if I am thinner - I will be able to move easier... Also it will improve my moral.  Ypou can always talk to me about MS I do not mind- I am now waiting to get my Lap Band and cant wait...

I did not have MS or at least was not dx with MS when I had my surgery 4 1/2 years ago. My diagnosis came just this last week. He did an MRI and then did a spinal tap and a visual test.  THe visual tst was fine but the MRI showed 25-30 lesions and the spinal tap was positive for whatever it is they lool for. he told me but I'm not sure IGG or IGB and the ratio between the two.

I have heard that surgery or trauma to the body can cause MS relapses. You will just have to talk to him. IF you do have MS he'll want you to go on one of the medications Im sure. It is supposed to slow or halt the progress of MS. I'm not looking forward to daily injection. THat may happen sometime this week or next. I'm waiting for the drugs to arrive and for a nurse to call to schedule a time to train me how to do this.

Hello, I have Ms and am looking for interactive places to chat and learn things.  Not to mention people for long term friendship.

PCOS is Poly Cystic Ovarian syndrome.  It is when your ovaries develop cysts a lot.  Howevr the disease comes with some long term effects that are nasty.  YOu can look it up under this name and learn more if you are interested.

I was just dx with ms, and am concerned about getting my surgery I have done everything necessary up till now.  However, my MS nuero has put the surgery on hold until he has some very important test back.  He wants to be sure of his tenative dx of Ms and wants to know surgery will not disrupt my body.

did you have any relapse when you had your surgery?

Topic: RE: Factor V Leiden and Surgery - How'd it go?

HI Sherry.
I had lap band surgery done in 1993. AT the time they didn't know what Factor 5 was. I had no problem with the surgery itself. 2 weeks after my surgery, (and after the time in which they said patients would get a clot) I wa**** with a doozie of a double blood clot in my left leg. I had a hard time pulling out of the recovery. I was in the hospital for almost another 2 weeks. The pain was so intense that I can claim that I have gone through something worse then labor and delivery!!! I was willing for them to amputate my leg.
I suspect that I have what is now known as "heparin reisitance" because they couldn't get my blood to thin down enough to get me out of the danger range, yet I was so cold all the time, I felt 1/2 dead. Once I was cleared and a year or 2 down the road, I have been on a regimine of Vitamin E and baby aspirin ever since. The problem I have is that  vitamin K in big doses (like vitamins) will help to clot your blood, yet you MUST take vitamins for the rest of your life. 
Jus****ch for the signs and get to the doctors if you feel "off". Mine was a bad cramp in my hip and a tight calf I couldn't get rid of. Finally I couldn't even lift my leg to walk and was gasping from the pain to even try. Took 45 minutes to get out of the house to the car. The best thing is that now that you know, the doctors can be aware and watch extra for you!  Best of luck!
