What is hcg?

Yeah. I didn't know this before surgery. And I'm still in the process of diagnosing if it really is my gallbladder and then what they are going to do to fix it. They think some of the gallbladder sludge may have gone into my liver... As my liver function is down a little. Just went for more blood work today to check liver function I'll update this when I get some results I also have a toothache and my cheek is all swollen. Lucky me.

April 24th 2012 lost 92 lbs

I am Over three months out and i still struggle with head hunger every day... Sometimes I feel Hungry in my stomach... Only to go eat something and be only able to eat a bite... That's how I know it's head hunger. It is such a long learning process... I still make mistakes and make stupid decisions... Just gotta keep learning from them.

Ok. I'm clueless. What kinds of things do you mix this syrup with? What are good flavors and combinations?

Can a hiatal hernia, small sliding turn into a para esophageal hernia?

I was 375 and in a 34/36

I was told by my nut that hot dogs are a no no. But what about turkey dogs?? Will I ever be able to eat hot dogs?

When I had the endoscopy before surgery they did say I had a small hernia... And that if when they did the surgery it looked bad they would fix it. But.. I just realized I have no clue if it was ever fixed. I will def call my surgeon and ask about this and bring it all up to the GI doctor on Wednesday. Thanks.

And when I take the painkiller it does work (even though it takes an hour to work). When it starts to kick in it does take the pain away. When the medicine wears off the pain doesn't come back... And that's what I find weird... You would think that when the painkiller wore off... The pain would come back... But it doesn't

Yeah. I don't have any nausea or stomach ache or diahhrhea when this happens.

Very interesting. I never ever had this or anything like this before surgery and only started having it about three months after surgery. I'll try drinking Water next time it happens... It's so unbearable

Yeah. This pain is Crazy and it's not in my head... I'm going to continue to seek out doctors until this is figured out... If I do get an answer I'll Let you all know I wouldn't wish this pain on my worst enemy Apparently ppl say gallbladder pain is worse than childbirth

Walked up two flights of stairs no problem

Oooo

What does it mean to eat rogue?

I haven't figured out this whole thing yet... I recently have been having a lot of rice cakes... Granted they aren't horrible for you... But they are also not good for you either. And I can eat like 3 full cakes at once... Makes me worry about my stomach stretching. But... I feel like I do this more so when I am gettin and have my period (tmi?)

I have lost a lot of my butt and it is also very squishy now I dont mind it. As long as I keep getting skinnier I don't care if my butt completely disappears

Yahoo!

Can we have this after surgery? I am At the hospital for pain in my chest and they came and gave me one.

Same exact thing with me. I know my stomach size doesn't change but my appetite sure does.

Soooo just got out of the emergency room. What I thought was bad heartburn was gallbladder sludge which in many cases is a precursor for gallstones. I was having really bad pain in the middle of my chest right below my rib cage since 10 pm last night. Took two doses of mylanta which did nothing. The pain kind of lingered all day but subsided around noon. Then at 5:30 tonight while I was driving it became unbearable. I pulled over to a rite aid to get some more mylanta but while in the store went to the bathroom (thought maybe I needed to have a bowel movement). Well while there I became dizzy light headed and very sweaty. I called my surgeons office and they said it sounded like a gallbladder issue and to go to ER. At the er the pain was so bad that i couldnt sit still and wanted to cry. I became nauseous and had shortness of breath. Went to ER and had vlood tests EKG X-ray and ultrasound. Turns out I have gallbladder sludge and a polyp in my gallbladder. For right now it is nothing to worry about but if I i get the pain again treatment will be looked into I also had some low blood pressure. I am also low on potassium (separate issue from gallbladder problem). I hope no one else has to suffer through this pain!

They sai they are going to do blood tests but that's it. They said they are going to check different things in blood but not do any other kinds of tests because I've pretty much had every test possible done to me already and they don't think they are going to figure out what is wrong with me tonight. So I will do the blood test but I guess from now until the gastro doc I will just have to suffer through anything.

What was your diagnosis? Remove your gallbladder?

Alright. Back in the ER again. And on my three month surgiversary. Yay me. Same pain. I took a painkiller but still want to get checked out. Went to a different hospital this time instead of the one I went to the last two times... As I feel they didn't really care or believe me. Need to get this figured out. Hoping for a new opinion. I'll update this when I get more information.
