Here all the time.....
Hi Kate, hope you are ok now.
Hi sorry I've not been around. I didn't know anyone had been asking after me. I've not been at all well to be honest. Dr thinks I've got gastritus and hopefully not gall stones as evidently my gal bladder is on the opposite side to the main area of pain. She has put me on omeraprazole for 2 months which should fix it. I lost 41b over Christmas It seems to have sorted it self out pretty much now and I'm starting to feel a lot better. I did end up in A&E and they gave me an xray and blood tests to make sure I didn't have anything stuck but they were all clear so that's good. I've also been very down lately and the Dr has given me a change of anti D's which I think are kicking in a bit now so I'm hoping to be back to my normal self soon. Sorry I've not been around.
I did have my 1 year check up today with the bariatric nurse and she is absolutely delighted with what I've achieved. Even gave me a hug. I've lost over 100% of my excess body fat now. She asked me if I'd like to be referred for plastics as I would be perfect for it. I said I thought I'd already had my moneys worth from the NHS and she told me off. She said my husband and I have both paid into it, and I should think about all the money I've saved the NHS from future treatments, prescription drugs, tests, monitoring etc etc etc. She felt I really deserve it. So, I am being referred. Not sure I'll get it but wont be heartbroken if I don't. As I said, I already feel as if I've won the lottery.
Love Kate x
Good to see you back Kate.I really feel for you. I'm poorly too and waiting to go in to have gall bladder out and a blockage removed from a bile duct. Most of my pain is on the 'wrong' side too ! Was in hospital for over a week at Christmas and they confirmed gall bstones, gall bladder infection and bile duct blockage so at least I know what's what !
Hope you feel much better soon and to see you on here more often.
We did miss you hun xx
