The Estrogen can block your insulin, causing temporary diabetes (happened to me)
Ooh. I know they thought my mum had that one during her last pregnancy. Turned out not, but still not fun, as she was having some of the symptoms or something anyway. It's all back to normal sugar metabolism now for you by now, though, yes?
(not sure if it's estrogen or progesterone) [can block] the breakdown of cholesterol (causing gallstones)
I totally didn't know that. Wow. Interesting. I wonder how. I must remember to look that up when I go to bed my repository of medical textbooks and knowledge.
I did lose 65 pounds since this time last year.
Well, yay for that, though it's bad if it's causing the stones. You always think of losing weight as making you healthier, not sick. Seems ironic, doesn't it?
My gallbladder's going on Wednesday, though.. I'm kinda scared. Surgery is scary, even routine, completely safe laproscropic surgery.
Oh, wow. Really? I'd be terrified. I've avoided all kinds of surgery up to this point, thankfully, mostly because I refuse to go in for anything that requires any kind of anesthesia, because my mum has troubles with it and I'm scared the same will go for me. But laparo, that should cut down on healing time a lot then. Means you'll be up and around and playing with that beautiful daughter of yours in no time.
