Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I hear you. I found out a few things about my health that I wasn't ready to hear. BUT the good news is, now you know, and the docs will tend to it, and get you healthy as can be. Before all is said and done, you will have an overhaul, and the engine will be purring again! Better than feeling lousy for months with no clue as to why!! Good luck. And welcome to a new healthier you!!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I also found out about a health issue. I originally went in for my surgery on 6/30/03, but the surgeon put three holes in me and stopped cuz he didn't like the way my liver looked. (Not a fun day) Anyway the surgeon did a biopsy and then- - - - he sent me to a GI guy and it turned out I am in the beginning stages of non-alcoholic cirrhosis. We knew my enzymes were high but didn't think it wasCirrhosis. Now at least I know I have this and will follow up with a GI person every year for liver health. (i have been drinking a little vodka, but was not told I shouldn't drinkat all) Anyway with 90 lbs off me, my liver enzymes are now normal as my PCP told me would happen if I would just lose the weight!

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 good luck--mine is Thursday at 7am--next week. I have stress tests this week, to make sure my shortness of breath isn't cardiac. Never thought I'd say it, but I hope it's just fat. Glad your " found " problems aren't going to delay you. I'm back OK, you think your healthy and then you let them have a little blood and a few x'rays a sonogram and you find out you are falling apart. ha ha When I went in today I found out I have cholisytitus in my gall bladder, so it has to come out during the surgery. Also I have a hernia and my thyroid was way off whack. But....surgery is Monday at 1:00. Pray for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 It was just a little over 10 years ago now that I watched my sister die from liver failure. She was in the exact same situation as you are now. I would think twice about the alcohol. It wasn't pretty the way she went... > > > OK, you think your healthy and then you let them have a little > > blood > > > and a few x'rays a sonogram and you find out you are falling > > apart. > > > ha ha When I went in today I found out I have cholisytitus in my > > > gall bladder, so it has to come out during the surgery.
