Subject: ER visit not good news

hello all! Just thought I would stop by and let you all know whats been going on with me lately, Ill start with last Friday I went to work and about half way through the day,I was doubled over and wisked down to the emergency room (thank god I work in a hospital) my co workers thought I was having a heart attack,I was having trouble breathing a my chest was hurting something fierce,come to find out after my doopler and heart monitor, I have a gallbladder that needs to come out,cause it is "plum full of gallstones" as the doctor put it! and also what was listed was that I have degenerative fatty liver,and something to do with the pancreas,which I will get all this info from the surgeon that will perform my surgery,and I go see him next week. Im truely scared you guys,I was doing really good on this this way of eating,having comments about how I was looking great,and now the doctor said I should lay off those foods that contain fat,till I have that gallbladder out. I looked into the fatty liver thing and I dont clearly understand it too much yet,till I go to the doctor, but as I am understanding it this is caused from being obese/rapid weight loss,diabetes,and hormones(estergen)intake,which I dont take,and dieabetes I do not have,maybe this all explains why I have been having problems trying to have a baby,boy I am just a ball of nerves,and I cant wait to go to the doctor,to see what he thinks,unless there is anyone out there that can relate,I just have to wait till then.This kinda makes me wonder if this is why I have gained so much weight in the last few years,with no explanation,I was recently tested not too long ago,for insulin resistance,diabetes,and the blood work came back fine.Im clueless,I will admit,my biggest worry,is the gallbladder,I was told it full and it was looking like the walls around the gallbladder was thickening.yiks!So I guess for now I just maintain my weight by eating very little of anything??? But I am still drinking lots of water. Thats all I have to share for now.Take care,and goodnight, christy

I don't know a lot about what you're going through, but I'll pray that everything turns out alright. I know that it is disheartening to be forced to give up your WOE for now, but soon you will be able to go back on it, and without all of those other thing standing in your way, the weight should come off much easier.
