My first appointment at the Mayo Clinic was this morning. I don't know what I expected going in, really. Ideally, it would have been nice for the sky to open up for an angel to come down and reveal the answer to all of my health problems. In reality, we talked for a bit while the doctor worked on getting a full understanding of what is going on, what has already been tried, and where I stand at this point. My sister was with me to make sure that I didn't miss something. I was definitely not expecting to have to go through the same testing I have already done a few times. I guess I should have seen it coming, but I thought that is why I got all of my medical records to her. So I have a few more appointments scheduled. I got some general lab work done this morning. I go to a nutritionist this afternoon. During this week I will see a surgeon to see what his take is on my problem, and I also go in for yet another mixed food test. This time I get to (more like HAVE to) have 1 cup of oatmeal (not instant), 1 cup of milk (to be used to make the oatmeal), and 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce. I go back to the endocrinologist Friday morning for her final assessment She hasn't seen a case as extreme as mine, but she has seen patients experience low blood sugar after gastric bypass. She said that most of the time it can be controlled with diet. We shall see what happens next!
For now I am sitting at the hotel crocheting and watching TV. The hotel is nice, and the food in their restaurant good. The fridge is tiny. We brought our swim suits, but it's so hot we may not go out there! All there is to see are hills and cactus, but it is pretty. If I can remember, I will post some pics.
Thank you all for your continued prayers!
