I feel like a 80 year old man....

BALDING WITH AN ULCER Yup that is right, I have an ulcer. I was getting massive stomach pain about a month ago and noticed it was only when my tummy seemed empty. So I got worried that I might try to ease the pain with food. YIKES So my DR sent me to get an gastroendoscopy (something like that) It was a horrific experience. Kinda like tourture without the dripping water. So sure enough I have an ulcer, and apparently it is common to get them after surgery. So I am on medication to heal it. But I tell ya. I am loving being THIN, but the fact that I am still losing my hair and have an ulcer, makes me feel like an old man. Guess I should start wearing my pants about 5 more inches north and in weird checkered patterns. SHEESH!! Crystal 248/125/153 95 LBS gone forever!!!!!

Ah, that just sucks! But at least you should be fixed up and good as new in a few weeks. And, you know...they always have those cute checked pants by the dozens at the Goodwill if you are really looking for some! LOL ! ~Suz

Ha Suzanne!! You are right, at least I can save money since social security only goes so far when you retire. Crystal

Oh man Crystal, that stinks. I'm sorry to hear that. Hope the medicine helps. Did the doc give you a reason as to why you got the ulcer? I mean could it have been prevented?

Hi Crystal!! Sorry to hear about your ulcer and I am so glad that you found out what was going on and are being treated for it. I am wishing you a speedy recovery Oh, I will be on the look out for your checkered pants too!! Your post was hilarious!!

Crystal, so sorry to hear about your ulcer, glad you are on meds to heal it. I am right there with you....still losing hair....when will it stop??? It has started to slow down though so soon hopefully. Hugs and prayers coming your way!! Anna

Thanks for the sympathy. I think I needed it. Not sure what caused the ulcer, but I think it is something that can happen after surgery because the skin in the stomach wall is more raw (since it was sliced into). The meds I am on, help a lot. I have no idea how long it will take to heal, but I am hoping soon. Cuz, I hate when the meds wear off. OHHHHH BOYYY Well, at least I know what to be for Halloween. Just need the pants, white patent leather shoes with a front man buckle, and a pocket of change that I can jingle to get attention. Not to mention saying things like "In my day...." and " When I was a lad we could buy a loaf of bread, see a picture show, and get a malt all with a nickle". SHEESH!! Crystal
