Yeah this doctor was kinda not helpful and unfriendly. I got my results on my portal this morning and they were like "well your at an increased risk for a blood clot but the xray didn't show one.. but your blood level is high." I'm hoping my primary calls tommorow with some answers. Also my glucose was 110. Who gets diabetes after a 30 pound weight loss? I know my dad died from really bad diabetes in 2014 so I do have the genetics but I've been super careful for a long time with keeping everything under control. I'm also wondering if the chest pain I'm having is external from my top surgery. So I was going to ask my endocronogist for a refferal to the plastic surgeon he uses to check things out since its been a year anyways since the revisions. I don't want any more work done on it I just want to make sure things are ok and that there arent any problems.
