My levels are all good. My doctor ran a bunch of blood work. We’re thinking it’s the heart at this point. I do have asthma, sleep apnea and a murmur. We’ll see how things go.
Thanks for the concern!

Well things are looking up. My blood work is perfect. So now we’re looking into the heart.
Had a 24 hr heart monitor on, and my cardiologist didn’t see much. Of course. So he’s putting me on a 10...
Glad to see you are doing well!!!
So I have test results. My sugar is perfect. As well as everything else my dr tested for. No hormone imbalance with the thyroid, or cortisol. My sugar was in range for both fasting and after eating....

I totally get it. I’m nowhere near goal weight. But I have a pair of jeans size women’s 24 I have been dying to fit into. My stomach is still too big. It’s frustrating because I fit into...
I’m fortunate. I’ve only thrown up once the whole time after surgery. I had enjoyed some salmon and spinach during my 15 minute break at work. Started sneezing, developed horrible post nasal drip...
I know I found chewable vitamins on unjury.com which are bariatric specific. It’s the same site where I got my protein powder from. I don’t remember prices but I find them helpful. I can take regular...
I know I was on quite a bit of meds before the surgery: blood pressure and a water pill, allergy, bipolar, GERD... I was told if the pill was the size of a tictac or smaller, I could swallow it...
I’be never been one to make a resolution and actually keep it. I plan on changing that this year.
For starters, I am going to join a gym. It has to be somewhere where I can drive to since, believe...
Denzel,
Thank you for the advice! I’ve been using (of all things ) Johnson’s oatmeal baby wash and lotion. It helps. I was so leery to put anything on it. But it’s cleared up.
I’ve always had...

An update,
I went to my dr. Yesterday. It’s on both legs and my stomach. He did not think it was shingles. Gave me a course of steroid to combat it and I made sure to moisturize with a soothing...

Grammy2s&c,
I used to have severe heartburn (GERD) as well as Gastritis and IBS symptoms. I will admit, the first days after surgery were the worst. The body doesn't adjust right away to needing...
Tamera,

This is something that has recently occurred to me and I need some advice.

Glad you're taking me time. You deserve it.

Kristi,
Please go back in. This isn't good. I hope you figure it out soon. Blood infections are no joke.

I second what Jackalope81 said, that it could be an endocrine issue. Your thyroid may be giving you the trouble. Coupled with the fibromyalgia, and it's a snowball effect. I don't have thyroid issue,...
