Silver Linings....

[cludgie 81]

Well to cut a long story short today (almost 2 years post op) I was admitted to hospital due to abdominal pains (GP was worried it might be vsg complication?!?).

It was a long, and inconclusive day, but because I don't have a follow up package with my surgeon today was the first time I have been weighed by a medic since my surgery, which was my silver lining.

Last time a doctor weighed me I was deliberately wearing very little and had a BMI of 36, today I wasn't expecting to be weighed, so was wearing jeans, two jumpers and my sturdy shoes I could have kissed the dr when she announced my BMI was 23.

I knew that's about what it was, but my official weight on my medical records is now not obese!

That must feel incredible. Good for you and your new status on your medical records.

Hi Cludgie;

We are close to sleeve sisters so I am very interested in your prognosis. Please provide update and hope you are doing well.

Congrats on your new stat...but take care of yourself!

Hi iegal,

No diagnosis given, no clear explanation for my symptoms, but stats all stable, so they decided whatever it is isn't serious, and sent me home with pain relief.

Glad it's nothing worrying, but slightly frustrated that its still a mystery!
