I agree with the idea to take a water bottle to church.....I truly believe the Lord understands us, our intent, our needs.....and if you need a sip to be able to take the sacrament, I say go for it......but I was never one to worry too much about what anyone thinks....just the Lord. I don't have any trouble with the bread, and I reach for the BIG piece...haha

Hi all: I was born in SLC, in the lds hospital. My mom wasn't a member yet. She was won over by the kindness they showed toward an unwed mother with no judment. My Dad fell in love with me first I like to say because a was a cutie for a baby my Dad had a testimony of the gospiel but never felt worthie of baptsem (sp). After he passed away ( i was 16) and I was of age I had his work done by my Uncle. I live in Tucson Az. I was dating this sweet boy in high school but quit dating him for this mormon boy I will not go into all the details but he was a jerk! we never made it to the temple I did thou with his kind permishion. He did give my four great kids 3 girls and 0ne boy I only have one active child she was married in the SLC Temple. After 18 yrs we got a dievorce and I married that boy from high school I got my deviorce I cant spell worth poo. Aug of 90 and was married to my great DH 12/90. he took the lesson several time he would not join till he read all the book of mormon. was baptized 12/91 we were sealed on 2nd aniversay. My Darcie who was married in the SLC Temple, well when she took out her endowment she was sealed to my DH and I so. My hubby has four children too. 3 girls and one boy. and none of them have much to do with the church. Well their is the short of me. O one more thing when my mom went home to heavenly father I sealed my mom to dad and me to them Yea Saralan 8/23/04 231/200Yea open rny

I have not had a problem with the sacramenet. I look for the smallest piece of bread, and I chew it throughly. I have not had any problems with it. If it continues, talk to your doctor and your bishop/branch president. Donna

I will find out this stuff this week and see. Like you said it doesn't hurt to ask. No, I haven't always had problems with my bladder. I have had problems with "peeing" on demand or lack of having to go. However, since my WLS it has been MUCH worse. And I have had constant infections. I never had a UTI infection till Abi was born and then again when Bryant was born. When I was pregnant my OB made a comment both with both pregnancies - when I had the 24 hr urine test that it wasn't very much. When I had my last baby I had UTI infections for a a month afterward but then was fine. Hard to say. I have had MANY CAT Scans before and this has never shown up. Which makes me think it could/is something else. My last CT was when I was in the hosptial few days after my WLS because I was having pain where my gall bladder was and my surgeon wanted to rule out some things. So who knows. Time will tell. Gala

Thanks Melody. I have a friend who works at a medical research company and she asked her boss who is the main dr. there. They sent me some info too on it. He told her that 99% of the time regardless of age that you have to have it surgically removed. Generally it is infants/toddlers who are dx with it. This might sound kind of stupid on my part but I have decided that if that is the case and I have to have it removed I am also having a tubal ligation done. I don't have the physical or mental ability to have any more children. My dh will not have a vasectomy - had the date and everything and then didn't go threw with it. It is a long story. Anyway, the only thing that would keep me back from doing it is that this other surgery would be in Madison and my OB is in the town where I live. And so I would have to go back to my old OB who didn't want to do the tubal to begin w/when I had my last baby. So anyway such is life. Thanks again, Gala
