Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Dear Cheryl/Poncho; Another possibility... When I had my GB taken out, I got an infection in my gall stem which led to the liver which led to the pancreas which led to a severe CP episode. What I guess I'm suggesting is that an infection in the GI tract can pretty easily move from one organ to the next very quickly and somewhat effortlessly. At the time, more tests then indicated that my liver enzymes were elevated and I had cirrhosis, jaundice and hepatitis... Yet AMAZINGLY none of them lasted more than a few days, and the infection cleared up... Go figure. <---- praying, " Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! " The liver DOES regenerate quite well... Today I have a perfectly normal and healthy liver. WooHoo!! Greatful in KC, Terry << In a message dated 10/11/01 4:04:28 PM Eastern Daylight Time, mmorga3@... writes: > I have read this before, but I am still confused on one point. Why > Cheryl, Liver enzymes are one of the standard chemical tests done with a CBC (Complete Blood Count), My guess is that the digestive system is messed up and thus your liver thinks it is injured, livers are very good at detecting injury and about the only organ that can repair itself. So, digestion process is whacky, liver detects this, then it begins to secrete those enzymes that will repair it's damage. A CBC is done on you and thus detects the out of normal liver enzyme amounts. Just a guess though, have a great evening Poncho >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 , There is a risk at anything you do. There is a risk to every medical procedure. But the risk is very small and the benefits of this surgery far out weight the risk. The surgery has saved my life. I was a bigger risk for this surgery because of my age and medical condition. I am 60 years old and weighed almost 400 lb., I was in a wheelchair, I have a heart problems, an aortic aneurysm, arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic bronical asthma, very bad spinal stenosis and spinal deterioration, and I WAS a diabetic, and I HAD High blood pressure that was going to cause the aneurysm to rupture. I know longer have diabetes or high blood pressure. I am even able to get around the house now without my wheelchair. I was doomed without the surgery and now I have hope for a better life and more time with my family. I made the choice to take the chance and I went through it all with no problems. I have not been sick at all. Even though I weighed almost 400# I was still able to have a LAP. I was only in the hospital 2 days and as of this day I have lost 139 pounds. I have never had any sickness except one dumping experience that taught me to watch my carbohydrates. It was one year on the 22nd of March and I would do it over again in a heartbeat. March 22nd is my new birthday because that was the beginning of my new life. Life is so good. Don't worry, put your trust in God and you will be fine. Will the hospital let your husband stay in the room with you while you are in the hospital? My husband stayed with me and it was wonderful to have him with me. You might want to ask. They only charged us 10 dollars a night and he had a real bed, not just a cot. So you see even with all my medical problems against me I came through with flying colors. Just be sure to stay positive and focus on the positive. Do even let negative thought enter your mine. As soon as you have a negative thought, just push it out as fast as you think of them. Do not dwell on the negative. Think only positive thoughts and you will be fine. Good Luck A. B.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 , I too was desperate to live again and I am now living again because of this surgery. I came to a point in my life that I knew I could not last much longer the way that I was. When you have to depend on everyone around you to wait on you and you can't even take care of your personal hygiene, it time to come to terms with the fact that you have to just bite the bullet because you are going to die if you don't. Good luck and write me anytime. A. B. Lap 3/22/03 Dr. Steve Weinstein Mobile Infirmary Medical 386-247-139lb BMI 65/40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hello everyone- I tried to post yesterday, but I never saw it come through, so I try again. I am 10 months post -op, (RNY) down 135 lbs (343 to 208), off all blood pressure meds and no longer looking at back surgery. I have energy and stamina that I never thought possible. I have had no major side effects except for hair loss from about month four or five through month nine. My Dr. prescribed zinc sulfonate 220 mg 3x a day, but I am not sure whether it was the zinc or the passage of time that resolved the issue. I lost hair after I gave birth, and while I was losing 100 lbs on a low carb diet several years ago, but it grew back fine after both. My biggest adjustment has been not drinking while eating or for 30 minutes after. I just can't seem to do it. I also have problem taking pills at any time other than morning and evening--always seems to slip my mind. My greatest moments: having my GP finally admit that the surgery is a GOOD thing after I passed out in his office from too much bp medicine; wearing high heels and short skirts; keeping up with my 4 year old;being able to get more involved in everything! I am not having a problem with wanting to eat all of the time. I can only eat smalll amounts, but I want to do it all day long.... in ither words, my " hunger " has come back. Hunger is in quotes because I don't believe that it is real hunger. I think it is the re-activation of the hormone that supposedly goes dormant for a while after the surgery. If anyone has any insight or suggestions, I would really appreciate hearing them! Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Stop now while you can. I too wanted to eat all day long and did so thinking it was ok. Now 20 lbs heavier I wish I hadn't started. There is a honeymoon stage where it doesn't hurt you, which is what you are in. But here I am 2 1/2 yrs after surgery and I'm paying for it. I can't seem to stop. I want to eat all the time. Can't do that and still lose wight anymore!!!! The surgery is a tool not a cure and I keep telling myself that but it isn't helping. I am struggleing with getting back on track and trying to lose the 20 or so pounds I have gained. When you are in a 10-12, 20lbs puts you in a 14. Not like it was when I weighed 286, 20 lbs didn't really change my clothes size.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi, Nic, welcome to the group! I am sure you will find it a friendly group, I am impressed at your changes and happy for you. I only hope I can do the same thing, I know I cannot be at my natural weight, but I've only been doing IE for about 4 weeks now. Mentally I feel much better because I am able to turn away from food without too much anxiety, I recognize my hunger and fullness signals more comfortably. Have a nice day, and thanks for posting!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Welcome! You have given me hope again. I am having a down time full of doubts about IE and my ability to follow the idea of it. I loved the use of your word " release " rather than " lose " . It resonates with me as a process of letting go, a gentle letting go. And it seems less like a " diet " word.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi Sandy,My sister is an NLP practitioner. She says it is very important to be clear about our wording when we are making changes. She told me that we talk about "releasing" or "letting go" of weight instead of "losing" weight because we tend to want to find the stuff we've lost.CaroleTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Sent: Tue, June 14, 2011 8:27:55 AMSubject: Re: Introduction I loved the use of your word "release" rather than "lose".
