Question:
Yesterday I saw my PCP and she took a urine sample and it showed that I had a little

protein,triglycerides,and bilirubin in it. Has this happened to anyone else? What could be wrong? I havn't gotten the results back yet and i'm to scared to find out what they are. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!!!!    — Brigit B. (posted on June 19, 2001)

Did she say you are in ketosis? That is normal (to a degree) after WLS. As long as you are fully supplemented, SOME is OK. If it is drastic or if you are not supplementing, then it is another thing all together. You can better deal with this issue faced head on. Honest. In all probability, your imagination will torture you far more than the reality.

I also had proteins in my urine. My PCP said it was an ambulin (sp) type of protein, processed through the the organs and blood. He changed my only remaining blood pressure med and put me on Tiazac. All my tests have been normal since. Don't worry, but be sure your supplements are complete for your needs and work with your PCP.
