...That's the joking response I got from my new Doctor when I asked what diet I'm supposed to follow with all my health issues. HAHAHA He was really great and was funny which kept me at ease throughout my appointment. Dr. Reneker said that he's almost positive theres more going on than just my gall bladder...so, he called the general surgeon directly and he said he wants me to get a Hida Scan before deciding on surgury to see if the gall bladder is draining correctly. Bad news is, if it doesnt they have to inject you with something to make your gall bladder contract, like it does when I have these horribly painful spasms. :-( I'm just glad he doesnt want to rush into surgury if it's not absolutely nessessary yet! Then I'm to keep my appt. with Dr. Combs, the gastro, to see about getting the upper and lower scopes done to see what is going on with my stomach and intestines. Dr. Reneker, my family dr, decided to keep me on the stomach acid meds until I can see the gastro and he said just to keep my carbs and fat as low as I can in my diet without driving myself nuts and not eating period.
He also said, if I hurt any more before I see him again in a month, to call him immdiately and he'll make sure I'm comfortable and able to go on my trip to see my grandpa at the end of April.
Thank you all again for your support and hopefully I plan on leaving you guys some comments this week as well! *big online hugs!*

If it tastes good, spit it out - hee hee - not what you want to hear, I'm sure, but awfully funny.
My goodness, our bodies are complicated machines, aren't they? I'm glad you've found some good doctors to help you get your engine running smoothly again.
I'm thinking of you and sending you healthy vibes!
That sounds like good advice, lol Sounds like you found a good doctor.
Funny. Glad to hear things are moving in the right direction.
There seem to be a lot of Floridians in the HYC... :) Hi there! I just wandered over from Mr. Linky (it sometimes takes me a whole week to get around) and wanted to wish you luck with all these medical problems. The weight loss portion of the diet has got to take a backseat to your health, so take care of yourself!
Good luck! I'll be thinking of you.
