  1. I had those symptoms and it turned out to be hyperparathyroidism. My calcium was mildly high for three years and I suffered from anxiety depression bone and muscle cramps and hot flashes and my upper chest would flush. They removed a tumor on my parathyroid ( inside my thyroid which was normal) and that was what I needed. If your calcium is elevated check your parathyroid hormone. It's more common than you'd think . And anyone with parathyroid symptoms should go to parathyroid. Com. Listen to Dr Norman he is THE expert and I found a great surgeon at Univ of Penn.

    Recommitment

    I am recommitting too . I have gained back 15 lbs and am only half way to goal. I lost 70 lbs since jan 2013 but my daughter and my two grand kids moved in and I live in food hell! I tried getting her to buy differently but now I realize its me that needs to change. I started this morning and am very serious about this. I missed my one year appointment with my Dr because I feel guilty. Dumb I know. I have medical problems like lipodystrophy and sjogrens and can't exercise easily so that has really hampered my loss. Since surgery last year I've had a surgery for hyperparathyroidism and have surgery next mo to repair my right foot because its hard to walk and a semi hit me last June messing up my back one herniated disk three buldging. These aren excuses just obstacles. Ii know i could have gone to a pool but i chose to eat wrong and now I'm choosing to fix this. No more excuses.

    January 2013 Sleevers?

    My surgery was 1-20-13. I've lost 70 pounds but have been stuck at this weight for two months. Has anyone gone back to just liquids for awhile and has it worked?
  6. My surgery was Jan 20 this year. I am sure it must be reflux although I do take Prevacid for that. Thanks for all your input. I made a DR appointment.
  7. I am having pain on my left side of chest and under my left breast. It has been happening for over a week now. At first I thought it might be stress but now I am wondering why it doesn't go away. I know it is probably not a leak but curious what it feels like. Thanks!
