That is sad. My old OBGYN died from kidney cancer rather quickly. He had been my Dr for over 10 years so I was so upset.
Life is definitely fragile.

Oh I know about the flu but I don't think this is the flu. I don't have any nasal congestion, sore throat, body aches. Just the fever. During my last hospital stay the doctors collectively told me...
ALso during preop diet when yu are mostly doing fluids or whatever, eat peanut butter or cookie spread. I really HATE having to say that but those have tons of fat and calories. This is ridiculous...
Again, thank you all so much for responding, I appreciate it. Guliver I only get the numbness in my hands when I am pre-fever. I do get my levels checked and also take sublingual B12 as well as...
Thank you guys for your concern. I would normally agree but these are the high fevers I get with pneumonia. The motrin brought it down to 100.5 and and the on call Doc called me in some antibiotics...
Thank you both. I called the on call service and waiting to here back now. 2 of my pneumonias were treated at home so just hoping to make it until Monday. We also have snow coming down on top of...
Sorry about bumping a 7 month old thread. Since May, and switching to 40 mg Pepcid (prescription) so far I have been okay. HOWEVER, at this very moment my temp is climbing every 20 minutes or so,...
Yes, correct thanks! I am now on 40 mg pepcid and just received my wedge pillow from Amazon. I have an appt. scheduled with both my surgeon and my primary md. And stopped snacking at night...
I am getting a pillow wedge, for now sleeping n recliner until it comes in the mail.
I think they are thinking a slow leak of stomach acid while sleeping, kind of oozing into my r. lung just enough to cause an infection. It made sense when they were explaining it to me.
I was Sleeved 3-15-12 and lost 166 lbs in 9 1/2 months, hitting my goal in late Dec. Starting Jan 18th, I have had pneumonia FOUR times, being hospitalized 3 times for IV antibiotics.
I just...
Thank you all so much! Your words really mean a lot to me.
Unfortunately, the very next morning after I posted this (4/8) I woke up with agonizing r. lung pain (I had pneumonia back in Jan). It...
Thank you guys so much!
I have found that I MUST exercise to both lose and maintain. To be perfectly honest, I exercised my booty off! I bought an elliptical and mostly use that fpr 65-100...
Hi guys! Haven't been around much lately and need to change that. I had my one year surgiversary on 3/15 so thought it was time for some show and tell. I started this journey at 330 lbs and now...
I embraced the world of Syntrax Nectar and exercise, lol! I did not do extremely low carb, probably stayed around 100 gms for a good portion of my loss, I also stayed around 100 gm for protein. I...
Well, my experience is not typical I know but I have lost 150 lbs in 8 months!!! I have about 15 lbs to my goal. I am very happy with my Sleeve.
I started out at a tight 24 pants, probably should have been 26. Today, at exactly 8 months post op I am fitting in to 10's and 12's. I am about 15 lbs from my goal so I'll probably end up an 8 or...
My vote goes to Syntrax Unflavored medical. It's cheap and pretty good! 40 calories per scoop equaling 10 gms of protein so it is ALL protein in that scoop. I use subscribe and save on Amazon....
LOL. At my highest weight I actually bought a special contraption on Amazon to wipe, how mortifying! Now, no problem!
I'm with Texgal, I use protein shakes daily. Mt doctor's office also prefers that people be on "real food" but I used protein shakes way before I ever thought of surgery, way back when I was at a...
I had nausea that started about 4-6 weeks out. It lasted for about 6-7 weeks and I HATED it. Had to pop Zofran all the time just to eat. I was slightly regretting the surgery a bit! But it really...
You hot thang you! Congrats on your success :-)
Yes and you will have many more stalls unfortunately. I asked on here every time I stalled and it is perfectly normal AND frustrating! You'll get through it and you are off to a great start!
Congrats to you! You look like a different person now for realz!!!
