OT: got my results

Got my patholgy results from my recent surgery back and the lump they removed was BENIGN!!!!!!

Yeah!     That's me doing the happy dance.

In a weird twist though the actual thyroid 1/2 removed shows chronic lymphatic thryroiditis (Hashimotos disease) yet my thyroid levels have never been low.  Might explain why I have had so much trouble with losing and maintaining my weight in recent years though.

Believe it or not... in 16 days I am back in surgery for the Gallbladder which fingers crossed will come out laproscopically.  My PS said he hopes so too because it means there's less for him to fix up when he does my LBL in April.

very good news! the gall bladder surgery should be a breeze. i had mine out 11 yrs ago. if they do it lap, you'll be up and about in no time. btw, that's a great new pic of you!

Thanks for the feedback about my new picture.

I am hoping for lap- but surgeon has warned me that as my actual GB is 'broken' I have an increased risk of open.  But I am determined and positive that it will be lap.

At least my son is due to get his L plates... he can drive me about! : )

OMG - I have been thinking of you so much and hoping for that good news. whew is that strange about the hashimoto's or what?? I swear my endocrine glands have issues, yet my readings are always within normal. This is great news for you, here's hoping that meds will help you just live a normal life and being able to do the typical things toward weight maintenance.  Laprascopic gb's are no big deal. My workmates were back to work in two weeks (desk jobs).

Glad to hear you got the good news you were hoping for. P.S., your new picture is beauts!

Thanks, it was a long and difficult time for me and I so glad it is good news...

Snacking due to stress eating was a big battle during that time but I resisted (well, mostly! )

Thanks for the +ve on my new picture.

Aww I bet your happy!  That is great news.  Glad they didn't make you wait too long, that's always so difficult.  Waiting on things like that seems like a million years.  I hope your next surgery goes smooth for you. But by the sounds of it, you'll be your old self in no time. 

Yayyyyyy for you!!

Thanks for the support. It certainly was a very stressful time, and while the results are very good I am still somewhat in a spin as I go for the next surgery in just 2 weeks! 
The Dr said "alot of people gain weight after Gall Bladder surgery!' I thought "NO WAY".
