    Hey guys! It's been a long time since I've been on here, too long! Kind of a confession if doing a bad job.... So here it goes...
     
    I've lost 160lbs and I couldn't be happier! BUT! I don't know what's wrong with me anymore. My labs are ok, I had mild anemia that resolved but other than that nothing is obviously wrong clinically. Here is what I'm experiencing:
    -extreme fatigue
    -my body itches
    -my brain is fuzzy
    -sometimes it's hard to concentrate
    -tingling in my toes and sometimes my fingers
    -gas, cramping, bouts of diarrhea every other week
    -nausea on and off
    Those are my main symptoms. I don't have diabetes. I don't have thyroid problems (specifically checked for that) the only thing I can think of is I'm pretty sure I have a gluten intolerance and I'm not drinking enough water consistently. (I'll up my water for two or three days then go back to a liter for a couple days then up it again)
    My diet hasn't been great (too many carbs and junk food), i just started taking protein powder again, I've been drinking beer 2-3 times a week and I don't work out. I get sick really easily if I over exert myself. All of that I know I have to change immediately and will do but is there something I'm missing? Is anyone else having these issues? What really scares me is the exhaustion and brain foggyness. Please help!!! Anything will help thank you!

    Hey guys! First post here! So my sister and I are beginning the journey this Friday to finding out if we are eligible for the Lap-Band. I have a twin sister and yes we look exactly alike...unfortunately that also pertains to our body types. We both have gone around and around with the decision to do this. She had made her choice and I have made mine. We understand that this is a personal choice and I am very excited, and scared about it. If anyone could drop me a line and let me know their experiences so far with the Lap Band I would really appreciate it. We both need support on this....I just know that if I don't do something drastic now...I'll pay for it later (looking back three generations on my mother's side) Please let me know! :thumbup:
