Thanks.  I cut out the solid food for the past couple days and have been drinking liquids like crazy.  I'm finally getting some relief.  And i've lost 4 pounds.  bonus.

i have an appt with my surgeon in a couple of weeks for my two year check up and one with my pcp in a couple days.  things are moving now.  a bit squishy but no pain except for gas.

thanks for the advice.

Hello A team
Well I just got home from wisconsin visiting my granny. It was very boring and all I did was sleep and eat. I have had no energy lately all I do is sleep cry or eat. I feel like a failure but that is just me. My son is sick and had to do the hospital checking for wooping cough or phnomonia misspelled.
I was sick for 2 weeks and was worried but I think I am finally getting better and getting sme energy. I work friday and sat at the post office and I love my job I just wi**** was full time.
last time I weighed myself I was 225.

Well they can do it by going in and doing a heart cath which is to speed up the heart rate and see if the QT inervals are long or short and they can also do genetics testing about 70% of the people that have Long Q T show up in the genetics test unfortunally my daughter is NOT one of that 70% but since she has had the pacemaker she has not had any episodes of cardiac arrest (THANK GOD) so her doctor is confident that he has done the right diganosis i wish you luck in your journey to find answers ... I hope I have helped some.
BTW the doctors around here kept telling me that she was having epileptic (msp) episodes and that she would probally grow out of them... But after seeing a pediatric nurologist they told me it wasn't her brain and that until the heart was ruled out they wouldn't see her anymore so that is when we went to birmingham to a pediatric Cardiologist (Dr. LAU wonderful doc) when she was 3 years old we finally got some answers but for 2 years we were begging for answers and noone had them so I know how scary it is to not know what is happening or has happened to your baby.
May God Bless, Gloria

Edited to say ... they can also do a stress test on the person and look at the QT interviles but that is hard to do on a small child ... my 12 yr old had it done and he had to stop before his heart got to the proper speed so I wouldn't suggest that type of test for a small child but each doctor is different so I wish you the best.

First, let me say how much I appreciate all the support that this group gives one another.  I don't post much but read alot and get much inspiration from the posts.

Second, I'm having trouble pooping.  I haven't had a real BM since Wednesday night.  I've had little sputtering starts but nothing of any substance.  Sorry, I know that's gross but there's really no other way to describe it.

I've been bloated to the point where my clothes are extremely uncomfortable and my lower stomach area hurts.

I've taken x-lax and milk of magnesia last night and still no major movement.

Help please.  Any suggestions or ideas or anything would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

BTW, Thursday will be my 2 yr date and I have lost around 95lbs.  I weighed 224 the day of my surgery.  My heighest was around 245.
Thanks again.
