Good luck getting to the bottom of your problem.

Well Doctor Chez, what's the prognosis?

All I know is reg coffee has a lot of acidity and my future surgeon FORBIDS it. Decaf she says still has some caffeine. But thst's just one docs opinion. I'd love an iced coffee right now!!!!!

Way to have his friends back! Sorry your worst day came right before the best days yet to come. Not for nothing, but maybe he is speaking from experience and he thinks its one of those aids that men get from infommercials....which he may already purchased!!!!!!!!!!! And one last thing, it takes a real man to voice when he is hurt. Best wishes from Boston

Thanks a bunch all of you. Who knew there wss different types of vomiting? Oh joy!

I've seen it mentioned many times, but I cant figure out what it is except something bad!

Sorry for your troubles. But you are worth A LOT. Just caring about your family shows that.

I have been here a few months and still don't have a surgery date. I have learned SO MUCH. Welcome.

Don't drive near a fastfood place. The smell will torture. Good luck ,believe in yourself. Keep posting here, yoy can't do that with greasy fingers!

You can do it!

Don't forget your positive attitude and new outlook on your life!

You should be so proud of yourself. Welcome to this army against fat.

Good luck and good health to you Channing.

I hope your doctor helps you soon. If not, what about looking for a new doc.

Focus on you, not others right now. Don't feel guilty for keeping your business to yourself. Best of luck to you.

I'm going to curves today, zumba tomorrow!

Congrats on your big day!

Glad to see your post. I've been thinking of you and it sounds like all must have gone well. Happy, healthy band-age to you!!!!!!!

xoxoxo thank you all xoxoxo Gonna put on a happy face and my big girl pants tomorrow and keep on truckin'!

Thanks you both, you made me cry. Maybe that's what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to reply, you don't know how much it means.

My surgeon said it is VERY normal. Mainly due to missing vitamins and/or protein. She suggests biotin but I don't know how much to take. Might be a good reason to call your doc, you don't want to lose a strand of that nice brown hair. Good luck!

I joined awhile back as I prepared for my surgery scheduled for 10/30. But my insurance company, put gastric surgeries at my hospital on hold for accredidation to be decided. I love the idea of wanting the hospital to be top notch, but if they are ok to other companys, then why not them. I began my classes, nutritionist meetings, surgeon meetings, counselor meetings in August. Began and finished my pre op testing in September. So Oct 30, came and went, I continue to read posts and learn lots and "meet" the coolest people. But I just don't feel like I belong. I have no advise or experiences to share. The insurance company is suppose to decide by Friday, but I am in a funk and don't feel hopeful. So what have I done since the 30th, gain 5 lbs. I've learned about stucks, but I have a different kind of lump in my throat. : (

Does anyone else feel like belting out... We are family, I've got all my sistas and me!!!

Great song. Thanks for sharing. But let's talk lack of chest hair...are all southern men bare as a baby's butt? Guess northern guys need to keep the fuzz for warmth!
