Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Hey , I'm sorry to hear about your kidney infection ordeal at REX last night, do they know what caused it? (you looked great on Saturday!) BTW, thanks for having us over, it is so nice to 'hang' out with you and Lori, and Donna at your pool! I do hope everything will go as planned for you this Friday, maybe we can come and visit you at REX, if you will be feeling up to having 'roudy' MGBers come visit!! {{lots of hugs & kisses}} S. > wrote: > Hi Donna, I'm just wondering how you are doing...I was hoping to see you and your scars at the support meeting on Saturday. My tummy tuck and thighs are scheduled for Friday and I spent 7 hours in the ER last night with a kidney infection and stones. I'm thankful that was all....I was sorta worried after reading of Rosemary's ordeal last week. My pre-testing is today at the same hospital (Rex) and I'm hoping they will not cancel due to the fact that they gave me 4 different prescriptions. I really never for once connected this with the MGB, but man when it rains it pours. I was in so much pain at one point I thought of not coming back Friday (lol), but now I'm hoping they don't cancel. Please let me know how you are doing. Hey Lori, I was hoping you would call me when you got to NY to let me know you arrived safely. I must have got home a few minutes after you left Sunday morning....I was hoping to catch you.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Hi , , Lori and Donna K, I just talked to my surgeon and they said no problem with my meds and the surgery Friday as long as I continue to recover. I am in very little pain now compared to yesterday. The CAT scan did not show any more kidney stones but showed one in my appendix...how weird. They said I may or may not ever have any problems with it. I am just grateful that I can continue with plans for Friday's surgery after taking the next 6 weeks off of work! I think I will be at Rex for 2-3 days. I had a great time too Sat. . I got my last day of partying in before the dreadful meds so it's gonna be a long week and even longer the few afterwards.Thanks for coming by and we definitely have to do it again. I'm missing a bra and underwear that were laying on my bathroom counter....Donna???? (First time that's happened when I've only been around a bunch of women!!) LMAO Damn panty thieves!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Hey ! It sounds like you are doing just wonderfully!!! I meant to call you sooner, but I had to go out of town this past week and got behind on everything! I am so happy to hear you are doing so well!! A junior size 5!!! Holy cow....you can't get much better than that!!!! You go girl! I talked with Barbara at Dr. R's office about a revision and she said he is only doing seriously needed revisions, like in the case of . It sounds like until he gets the peer review approval he won't be doing any surgeries. So we'll just have to wait I guess. We've got to get together real soon sweetie! {{hugs}} S. MGB=5/26/00 wrote: > Hi Liz!! Yes, I just had a tummy tuck and a thigh lift. And yes, BOTH were covered by my insurance. I've heard of many insurance companies covering the tummy but to my knowledge I don't know of any covering the thigh lift. Yes, my doctor did take pictures (he showed them to me yesterday when I went in for my appt) but he didn't send them to the insurance co. He just sent in a request for it to be covered and stated that I had had infections, etc. This was bending the truth a bit as I had never had any infections or problems and did not have big apron. It was actually just loose skin but not real bad. Only my belly button was occasionally itchy. Partners agreed to cover the tummy but not the thighs at first. I ask Dr. Lambeth to call them personally to see if they would agree to at least cover the OR and anesthesia, etc. and I would pay out of pocket to him, the surgeon for the thighs. I don't know what the heck he told them but his nurse called me back and said Partners agreed to cover it all. I couldn't believe it but I sure wasn't gonna question it! I got back in to my Jr. size 5 levi's last night when I went out on the town, so alot of my swelling has diminished now. My leg is doing better and I fell human again, after only 3 weeks today. I really had no problems from the tummy tuck at all....not an incredible amount of pain either...about like a c-section. I only took pain pills for 2 days after getting out of the hospital, and those 2 days were a week later. I think I was doing too much but I started hurting where the drain was taken out of my belly. Maybe I'll get really brave and post some pictures of the surgery scars this week, just to show how it looks. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have Liz. I be happy to answer if I can.... Good luck to you getting approved!! in Raleigh MGB 11/22/99 270/130 size 24/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi Jenni and . :-) how are you girls doing today? thank you so much for the compliments!! :-) I am loving it!! It is getting me in some trouble though. hee hee I am turned into this huge flirt and my husband gets really frustrated with me when I do this. But I told him to shut up and hang on for the ride! cuz I spent many years being ignored and treated like sh** because I was so obese. so now when I walk in a room and people take notice I am going to enjoy every minute of it! plus like I told him I draw lines that I dont cross. Like I dont hang on people or touch I just like to enjoy the attention once in awhile. I told him " daddy let me have some funlol :-) I think this is one of the phases of this whole journey. You take a person guy or gal that has been imprisoned in their body and once you loose the weight and you are no longer a prisoner you want to be free! and sometimes this leads to divorce and complications in relationships. But I personally dont want a divorce. I have built a life with my husband and yes we have been through a lot together. One thing I appreciate is that he stuck by me in my darkest times and never judged me. so why would I ditch him just to play around and find out the grass is not greener. So, for me it is about finding that " zone " in which I can flirt and enjoy the attention without letting it cause problems in my marriage. It is a tough juggle sometimes. I fine line. Like one of the friends in our " friends " group, he and I have like this attraction for one another. It is like we just have sparks between us. well we were flirting and talking and laughing with each other and both our spouses got very upset with us, so we had to back way off and now we have to respect our spouses feelings and not make them feel we are crossing " the Line " . It sucks sometimes! Some people may think what I am saying is crazy, but others of you know exactly what I am talking about! Like I said it is one of the " phases in this journey " . well you all have a super great day, I must go deep clean my house! :- ) big hugs, dob 10/6/06 (342)322/205/160 > > > > > > ... > > > > > > I wrote this for another board a few days ago and thought it > might > > help. > > > Someone else was having problems exactly such as you.

Ok so after one month of delaying I got an electrician to come to my house to help me troubleshoot this problem. We completely disconnected the ground cpnnection to all outlets from my room and to his and my surprise the paint was still grounded and had just as strong a ground as before. He told me its possible that the ground could be coming from the wall because one of my walls is made of plaster ( I had no idea) because plaster contains minerals an stuff it can be conductive. Then when we were testing one of the outlets to check if it was grounded ( btw my house is grounded by flex cable not with a ground wire to each outlet) and the ground was disconnected from my room so there was supposed to be no ground from the metal case but the oulet tester showed that it was grounded! Now we knew that my entire plaster wall was grounded because the metal case was touching the plaster, we tested the plaster to see if indeed it was grounded an it was. Even though the yshield paint isnt directly touching the plaster because of 5-6 coats of paint underneath, Im guesiing its still grounded by it because the previews layers still have a little conductivity and the area is so large and its also probably touching directly in a few small areas. The only solution he came up with was to take the paint off from that wall and repaint it with a paint called lastatamedic that is like a plastic so there would be no conductivity between the y shield and the plaster when i paint with y-shield over it. Any other suggestions on how to Fix this problem will be appreciated.! (btw hes the coolest guy I explained to him what Im doing and he was very interested and open minded about it. He also told me that he used to do surveys in my area for the electric company and that many people made complains about the power lines and cell towers making them feel bad here. Sorry is some parts may sound confusing or dont make sense Im kinda tired and sick. Cristian > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I guess we use the 'broken record' method and keep on saying it till the doc / endo does listen. I'm going to phone my endo's secretary tomorrow and ask for my last 3 sets of blood test results. I know for a fact that the last ones I had done I laid off my Armour for 3 days, the ones before that I took my meds the night before as usual and the 1st of the three I went without my Armour for a week. He always wants me to get the blood tests done at his hospital so that he has the results sent directly to him, but if there are anomalies in these 3 sets of results then I think I will have to insist that they are done somewhere else. Then I am planning a letter to my endo which sets out the facts that I don't want my meds reducing and the references (thank you Sheila) that support my case. I will also send a copy to PALS and the PCT, for back up. Glynis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
