Topic: dumping from IBS or post gallbladder
I am in the process of being approved for WLS. I have a past history of dumping/diarrahea. My internest thinks it is from having my gallbladder removed several years ago. I have an Rx that I drink every morning that keeps it under pretty good control. I am concerned that the surgery might make it worse. I don't want to have diarrhea all the time. I asked the surgeon about this on my first consult he didn't seem to think it would be a problem. Anyone out there that had this problem before surgery that can let me know how surgery affected you?

Topic: RE: Diarrhea
Pat, I totally sympathize.......I get it a few times a week too.....sometimes for no apparent reason.....I do get up extra early now to make sure I have time to go in the morning before getting into my car for the commute. Sometimes I find myself pawing at the bathroom door to get my BF out so I can go......I had to explain to him early on in the relationship that when I have to go, I HAVE TO GO! That was an embarrassing topic! No advise here.......I have not had much luck with my own situation! Laura 300/200/150

Topic: RE: GOAL? AT GOAL?
I am 15 lbs from my goal. My Dr. did not give me a goal weight,strange huh. I started at 320 with suregery on 1/30/04. am now at 185. Been doing well,but loosing VERY slowley the last 7 months. Its kind of funny I lost the first 100 in the first 6 months and it has taken another 7 months to loose the next 35. I also have had times when i gain up to 5 lbs then loose it again. I have had an upper respiratory infection this week and havn't been able to eat so I lost the last 4lbs in the past 2 1/2 days. Now I am on steroids and am hoping it doesn't make me gain more back. I am eating again today for the first time since Tuesday. It seems like my pouch shrunk a littel in the past couple of days, either that or my apetite is just not back fully yet. I hope it shurnk back a little though. I had been eating a bit more then I wanted to. Every one should be proud of thier success. Hang in there.

I'm so happy for you! Just click on the photos link at the top of the page. Then find the link that says post your own photos. Then find the links for the two ladies who add photos. Send one of them an email telling her your big news and asking her to add the century club logo to your profile. They will be happy to do it!!
