Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Hi Tammy; I had that test and it is sent out via fed ex to a special lab. It was kind of funny because I was in a hotel and had to have it all packaged and gave it to the front desk for the delivery guy to pick up. I hope they didn't get too close to it...lol. At any rate it took a week for the results to get back to me and the nurse is a friend of mine and called me immediately. It was normal. But I wonder how effective that test is. Seems to me the diet 3 days prior too would effect the results. I asked my doc here what he felt of the test and he said that it was not widely used or accepted as a standard of diagnosis for cp. Good luck with work tonight. Thats good that you are going back for just 4 hours, take your time. Warmly, > I have yet to hear about the results of my fecal elastase. My doctor > is on vacation this week, so God only knows when I'll hear. I call > each day, but it gets tiring. I go back to work tonight from 7 to 11 > p.m., and am not sure how I'll do. I'll let you all know what's next > as soon as I hear. Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Hi Tammy; I already posted this once so it may come out twice; who knows. I had the fecal elastase test as well and it takes a weeek to come back. It has to be sent out to PA I think. I had to do it when I was in the hotel, package it all up and carry it down to the front desk for fed ex to pick up. I hope nobody got too close to it...lol. At any rate, the nurse at the docs office in cincy called me as soon as it came in, negative, and it was a week later. Thats good that you are going back to work slowly, take your time, no rush. I would love to go back for a few hours here and there. Will this be your first time back? Well take it easy and dont expect to jump in full tilt boogie, it will take time.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Super weight loss!!! Be proud of yourself, it's not easy to stay clear of all the bad (good) stuff. LOL I should know. I am allergic to sweeteners (they make me run) and so I cheat with a normal pop cicle every now and then. My husband bought himself and the rug rat a gallon(!!!!) of ice cream. Truth: yes, I tried it, but the fat bothered me so much - never again. JJ -- hey everyone I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I haven't posted for a while. I will be 8 weeks out on Tuesday and I am down 50 pounds. I have been this way for almost 3 weeks now but I am not stressing. I am just trying to eat the right things and hopefully will jump start back up again. My 3 year old is starting preschool Tuesday and Thrusdays so I will making that my gym time now. Hopefully that will help. I read on another website that one lady eats nothing but shrimp for 2 days and she starts losing weight again...lol. I will try anything. I did splurge the other night and went to Dairy Queen. Now wait, lol. They have a sugarfree Dilly Bar. Yes, it is very high in calories and such but I only ate a 4th of the bar (which ended up being 50 calories) and threw the rest in the trash. My mom tried to tell me to buy a box of Blue Bunny and keep them in the freezer. But I explained to her that if I did, I would eat the whole box. This way, it was good and it is gone now Good luck to you all!! We have had such a great group lately. I get daily digests and am surprised when I drop in my email box and I have 4 emails with 25 emails a piece Thanks for listening and keep up the good work!!
