Well the MRI is back, and the good news is that my pituitary gland looks normal. There is no tumor pushing on it! The Endocrinologist called and had a consultation with a colleague of hers up at Stanford. It turns out that this elevated "Insulin-Like Growth Factor1"is pretty common among gastric by-pass patients. I still have the symptoms from the elevated count, but at least it isn't a tumor. The MRI did show a small cyst in my sinus cavities and I'm meeting with my doc on the 14th to discuss that, and what to do about the elevated counts.
Another bit of good news....... Since I've been taking my new supplements, I've greatly reduced the amount of joint pain I had been experiencing, and I am picking up more energy. The recovery shakes do wonders, and I'm actually learning to like the taste.
