Re: questions for a newbie-Weight Issues (mine, really!)

July 9, 2005

Hello Shelia:

I just read your post. I'm sorry you are having problems! About the

weight thingy, yes, I have a weight problem. And I really don't

understand how I can. I'm not a good eater, and even my daughters

ask me how when I don't eat much, why I'm still kinda " chubby " . Got

me! I thought as long as I'm sick with cp, I'd be loosing weight,

wrong! They even included me in a study at Ohio State about over-

weight people with pancreatitis & on TPN! I was kinda embarrassed

about it, but if it can help others, then go for it, I said! I was

just dx with diabetis in March, and my doc is on me to loose weight,

but how? I ask him, how? I also have thyroid problems. After I had

my twins in 1990, for some reason my thyroid when whacky, and it was

extremely over-active, so they killed it with radio-active-iodine,

and now it is very, extremely under-active. Only me! I do take

thyroid replacement pills, but still. Who knows! Good luck to

you! And welcome to the group. If you need anything there are so

many smart people here that someone will know the answer to most

anything!

Lots of Hugs,

Hi you guys,

I have read your posts enough I am starting to feel like I know some

of you guys myself and would like to be part of the group too!

My name is Shelia and I have SOD which of course has led to

chronic pancreatitis. So far I have only had one endoscopic

sphincterotomy although my doc is fairly certain I will eventually

require a sphincteroplasty? as there is ductal involvement as well...

I also have diastolic heart failure exacerbated I am sure by the

fact that I am morbidly obese, I thought to reach this stage I would

be skinny, does anyone else have a weight problem.

Thank you very much,

Shelia
