You said your gallbladder was clear. What test did you have that showed this? I suffered with pain that sounded familiar to what you are describing. I had an ultrasound of the gallbladder that looked good and then a colonoscopy that looked good as well. I was sent on my way with no answers. I had continued pain for about 2 weeks and finally insisted something be done. My pcp scheduled a HIDA scan which showed the gallbladder was functioning at 9%! It came out days later and problem was solved. Did you have this test? If not, ask the dr. Good luck!

While you can't bank on dumping, the fear of it has helped me immensely! I am 10 months out today and I still am afraid to eat those things that can trigger dumping. This is why I chose gastric bypass. My son chose the sleeve because he didn't want to be so restricted. We have both been successful thus far. It is honestly a personal preference. Do your research and see what the best fit for you and your habits is. Good luck to you!

Oh.....I just saw that you are from NY...I have to amend my answer.....
Either hiatal hernia surgery OR
Dual middle fingers with squared up knuckles perpendicular to the index finger and the thumb extended horizontally so that the thumb and index fingers form a right angle. ( who is trying this as they read it?.....Lol) and also a " Go f*uck yourself" for an exclamation point!
I'm from CT and do a lot of work in NY so I feel qualified to offer this suggestion.

I liked this one too. He was so positive and really tried to eat right and exercise. He was one that truly deserved the second chance.

My hubby's shrimp cocktail with avocado. So refreshing and good!

Hi April peeps. Tomorrow is my mylegram and follow up doctor appointment. Will find out what's going on with this leg pain and if I need more surgery. Am not looking forward to test but want to know the results. Supposed to have bad weather but hubby said we are going even if we have to crawl. Think he is tired of hearing me complain and moan at night. Poor guy! Weighed in at 202 today mostly due to needing to have bowels cleaned out for test. Oh well, I'll take it. 3 more until ONDERLAND!

Your pouch is still healing and I wouldn't chance it that early on!

Thought I'd share a picture of my Valentines; my hubby and great nephews! They are just over 3 months old now.♥♥

That's exactly what I had for Breakfast today! I finally found the cherry chocolate. It's like a dessert!

I am thinking of you, Dorigirl xx

Saw the spine surgeon today for a follow up and mri. They didn't like something in the mri; looks like the bone is fusing possibly on the nerve which is causing my continued leg pain. Have to go next Thursday for a ct mylegram and follow up again. May have another surgery in the near future if this test shows what they think is going on. UGH! It is never ending with me I swear!

OMG! Ham and bean soup sounds so good! Putting it on the menu soon!

I can sit cross-legged on the floor now. And I keep on doing double takes in the mirror noticing how much smaller I am looking.

Yes and it was so good. Just like a dessert!

Happy Sunday all. Went out last night to Celebrate parents 40th Anniversary. Took lots of family pictures so I thought I'd show the difference. I'm so used to being the biggest sister but now I feel normal. And it feels good! I'm the one on the left in both pictures!

Happy Monday!!! Well it is for me since I don't work!! And I won $100 on the big game last night! Four more pounds until ONDERLAND people! I weighed 203 today! I can hardly believe this. I seriously thought I'd never get there. When that scale says 199 I will be the happiest I've been in a long time. My goal is to get there by the 13th when I go see the back surgeon for an mri and follow up. He has never had a patient who had bypass and is always so amazed when I go. Hope Monday treats everyone good! ♥

It's very common for things to be too sweet post op. I wasn't even able to drink crystal light right away. My taste buds have gotten better and I can now handle crystal light and most Protein Shakes so it may get better for you too! I drank Unjury chicken Soup when that happened to me, even though I wasn't too fond of it.
