What brought you in for the scan? Did they tell you to see the surgeon? They should have told you something? Worrying won't help, but I can understand if you do. But try not to, it can really raise your blood pressure. Try to get your mind off it, and focus on positive things. If they didn't have you make an appointment, it probably is nothing to worry about. Let us know! Good luck to you....

Canyon and Ladypullings thank you so much !!!!!! when there is virtually no one to express my feelings to you guys understand !!!!! This means alot to me. I cannot tell my mom because, i don't want her to worry and as far as friends , i really don't want to share this with anyone except those who have had the surgery. Later after all is okay i will share with others. So your encouragement and help is what i have and it means alot to me .

Okay, i went in to see if i have a kidney stone because i had burning when going to the bathroom but, the urinary results reflected no UTI. I was glad to be getting an XRAY anyways even if i didn't need it because, i wanted to know if everything was good with the stomach (no staples coming out, and so forth).

The burning may be that you're not getting enough fluids in. Water seems to be the culprit, a lot of times after WLS, so try adding some Water Enhancer drops to the water. If cold water hurts, try tepid (luke warm) water with the drops. You can find the drops in the grocer store. There are lots of brands and lots of flavors. You can add as little or as much as you want, to adjust the sweetness and flavor. You can also mix the flavors! Try to get in 64 ounces per day. Good luck to you!
