Weight gain
This losing weight and keeping it off business is no easy task. It doesn’t seem to matter what weapons one has in ones arsenal. We can win a battle but at no stage can we say we have won the war. It seems that a permanent solution for weight control is as much of a pipe dream as world peace

B vitamins are generally the ones that affect nerves.But there could be other causes. Maybe you have a trapped nerve somewhere or your footwear is causing the issue.

Surgery and Divorce - Advice!?
There is a certain point in the relationship when the thing that should attract a partner most is their personality and mind not their looks.

Increased risk of colorectal cancers for people that undergo WLS
Constipation? If we extrapolate that further then we get Diet, high protein, low carb, low fibre etc So maybe what is causing this spike is the focus on protein and not enough roughage.

Is gastric bypass surgery reversible at all??
I hope you do get some answers as it sounds awful. Cushings is something that causes lots or weight gain so if this is the issue it’s a pity they didn’t test and rule it out prior to surgery as then you may not have required the WLS as well. Are you still bleeding or has that resolved?

Bread... oof

Increased risk of colorectal cancers for people that undergo WLS
There was a study done a number of years ago ( approx 2013) that showed that obese patients that underwent WLS had an increased risk of developing colo rectal cancers . Whilst obesity is a risk factor for these cancers for some reason the rate became higher in people that had surgery. This seems odd as one would think that having the surgery and losing weight would cause a decrease in risk. Wondering if there have been any further studies done and what the outcome of those was.

Surgery and Divorce - Advice!?
Sorry you are going through this. No brilliant ideas. Maybe you could go and watch a movie, one that you want to see but know that he would have hated. Get together with friends . Go shopping.

Wedding rings - what to do?
I started wearing them on a fatter finger. I also have an issue where my fingers swell in the heat but shrink lots in winter. No point in getting my rings adjusted as I would be doing it twice a year!
