Shortness Of Breath?



Recommended Posts

Well I am still here. They are saying something about my bodies acids or something is out of whack. Not really sure. I have a tumor on my pituitary gland and they think it may have something to do with that and want to talk to a neurologist and or endocrinologist. I take meds for it to shrink it. Said I might go home tomorrow. This is bull crap but for the best!

Stephanie I sure hope they figure this out. I know you hate being there but I am so glad you went. I was afraid it was a pulmonary embolism to be truthful. They had just covered that in my pre op class and it sounded like they described.

Praying they figure it out and you get back on the road to recovery.

Stay in touch. Amazing how much we can worry about each other.

I am still here and they are still not sure what it is. I asked the doctor who just talked to me to write it down for me. I feel good. I am pretty sure she said my acid levels are high. And they don't know why. I will get you guys better info soon!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
