WENT TO GYNOCOLOGIST TODAY

          Hi, everyone ..  I havent had wls.. and i dont think I want it lol.. BUT i started dieting in february and i was doing great 37lbs.. in like 2 months... THEN I got sick.. Here the bumex water pills my doctor put me on caused me to loose my potatssium.. and I was rushed to ER with low B/P and my potassium was 2.5.. They put IV in me and 3 bags of fluids gave me potassium pills.. and sent me home. So I went to my PCP doctor and she took me off my water pills. and I also was on Topamax.. for weight control.. LET me tell u,, it works. .BUT caused me memory loss so she took that off of me.. NOW here i am .. IT's april.. and I had to go to my gyn doctor cause i have been having heavy periods and just very very bad pain. So ,, now i am headed towards a total hysterectomy soon.. probably in May. NOT that I am looking forward to this BUT ... maybe I really need it and then i can constitrate on my diet.. I will feel better once that is over.. I gained 5 lbs. when i stepped on the scales today.. BUT Im not discusted.. Actually made me motivated more ... Dont know why lol...  So .. anyone got any advice for me?  rhonda

No advice about the weight loss, but the hysterectomy-best thing that ever happened to me.

 Ty for  answering me.. As for the weight loss I am just taking it slow and after i recover from the surgery I am going to start back and I will get to my goal weight.. I have bee nreading about WLS. and to be honest I dont want it.. TOO many risks and complications ... BUT i have read alot of posts on here .. and everyone is so BRAVE and sure of them selves.. its AWESOME>. everyone that has has WLS>. should be proud of them selves... Great JOB . rhonda

Sorry to hear about all the problems.  I too am having some of my own.  I have lost 105 pounds but in the process developed gallstones.  I have been very sick.  I was at the E.R. for 10 hours yesterday.  I have surgery tomorrow morning.  We have to take care of ourselves.  My mom had a hysterectomy several years ago and this was the best thing she ever did.  She went on to lose more than 70 pounds and kept it off.  Good luck and take care.

 Ty for answering me.. I to suffered from a bad gallbladder a couple of years back.. took me 5 years of pain and several ER trips to finally get them to take it out... Yes, i went to doctor today.. going to have blood work done and then come back to the doctor to discuss surgery.. I hope all goes with you .. rhonda
