My endo called today. I get to do once again another 24 hour urine collection. Also liver enzymes are still high. Wow the liver issue has lasted for three years now. One day someone will find out what's attacking my body. But the bright side I'm up right and breathing.

Saw the spine surgeon today. He said my weight was in a good spot for the surgery. He scheduled it for 10 days from now! So on 11-11' date=' please think of me and pray all goes well. Glad it will be soon; he said ive waited in pain for too long already. Getting my back fixed was the reason I had wls to begin with so it was well worth it for me![/quote']

I am happy to hear that they can finally help you! I will definitely keep you in my prayers...I'll be thinking of you!

Have they tested you for hepatitis c...not to be an alarmist, but I was really sick for years, and that's what it was...I took treatment for it, and I'm cured. I got it from a transfusion in 1988.

Yes I've been tested. Girl we have been doing testing for almost two years. I'm positive for one test and neg for another. This will be my forth 24 hour urine test. As I know you know this never finding the answer is aggravating.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
