Topic: RE: Experiencing weird pain
Sounds like gas pain to me. I haven't had it in a while, but my DW and I have both had that kind of pain post-surgery (it was gas). Now you know what it feels like, you'll be able to recognize it next time and won't have to FREAK OUT.

That's what my husband said - he kept wanting to take me to the ER. The pain lasted about 4 hours and then suddenly went away. Weird. It was extremely painful, but I'm just glad it's gone!

I have no idea what it could be...but since they have rearranged and played with our innards...when you get sharp stabbing pains anywhere in the abdominal area you should go to ER or contact your Dr.
It is much better to be safe then sorry.
Good Luck

Hi there!
My wife and I recently discovered the ww.mvm.com site. "for my virtual model." It allows you to create a virtual version of yourself at your goal weight. You can then take that virtual model and "try on" some clothes at various retailers. Check it out, as we had fun with it.

I would call your surgeon's office for suggestions and recommendations to be sent to your PCP. Also, if your surgery program has a nutritionist, they may have suggestions of some tests you should have done. I'm no expert, but that's what I'd do.

Topic: RE: Down 86 pounds Since March
So happy for you and how far you've come! I've had people tell me that I look like I could be my own YOUNGER brother. I too find that my mind sometimes wants to pile up the plate with food. Then after eating only a portion of my food I'm full or sick. I continue to lose weight, almost to the point where I wonder if I'm losing too much. I'm trying to focus more on regular exercise, and getting life-long exercise routines established. Not too easy for a former couch potato!

Topic: Experiencing weird pain
Today I started having some weird pain. I have a sharp stabbing pain in my upper abdomen, maybe 2 inches above my belly button. The pain has spread to my sides and back. It is very tender to the touch. Anyone know what this is?

Hi Kathy,
We have the same surgery date. I want to congradulate you on your fantastic weight loss. I am down 56 lbs. I know what you mean about thinking you can eat alot. I am the same way.
I know we all lose weight at different rates. But was wondering what you do for exercise?
Topic: RE: Hair loss
Hi Kathy,
Thanks for your suggestion. I have been taking Biotin, 5000 mg a day since two days after my surgery. Sadly, I guess I am one of the ones that it doesn't matter what you do your hair still falls out.
Hopefully, I will be one of the ones that it grows back too.
