Mood: TrudieC
is joining the new Thanksgiving Weight Loss Challenge on WL&D Forum
About Me: Female, 46, Ayr - ON, member since Apr 2008
As the Co-Community Leader of the Ovarian Cyst Forum I am dedicated to helping women navigate their ovarian cyst diagnosis and treatments.  I am 46 and the mother of an on his own now 22 year old son who I love dearly.  I am in my second marriage going on 12 years and v ... [More] ery happy.  I had surgery June 6/08 to remove a cluster of multiple cysts that was grapefruit sized and had bled together from my right ovary.  Because of my previous bowel surgeries my gyn took a general surgeon in with him in case there were problems with my ileal pouch or the scar tissue.  We intended to do a total hysterectomy because of the risk of surgery to me but because scarring was so bad they only removed the cyst, the right ovary and tube using a vertical cut.  When I was 21 I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and after suffering for 10 years my bowel perforated and I required emergency surgery to remove my large colon.  A year later I had a pelvic pouch created at Mt. Sinai in Toronto and have had great success with that.  My son has now been diagnosed with UC.  I just found out I have tendonosis of the rotator cuff and am looking for treatment plans around that.  I am determined to lose 40 lbs of Trudie and solve the remaining health issues I have around my hypothyroidism and sore & swollen hands/feet/ankles.  I work in the software industry and am fortunate to be able to work from my home office.  Cooking is my passion and I also love to do stained glass, read and take bubble baths!

I changed my lifestyle with South Beach in 2004, but as you know the past 2 years have been stressful and I gain a few. So, I need to get rid of them.
