My hottie man husband came home early from work yesterday c/o minor chest pain. He slept all day, got up and was fine. Then this a.m. he called off work c/o chest pains again. I dropped him off @ ER around 9am. Kept trying to call him from my work, but couldn't reach him. Finally he called me around 3pm. Doc diagnosed pancreatitis and admitted him for @ least overnight. It can be quite serious & I am a little scared. He's all the real family I have. Please keep him in your thoughts or prayers. Thank you all, April

Join the club Donnie, My hair is getting very thin but my surgeon reassures me that it will come back. He told me to take Q10 Enzymes (over the counter) and gelatin capsules and it doesn't seem to be falling out as fast now. Hair falls out after any surgery I've heard. Hugs, Esther

Hello everyone, i totally forgot to weigh in on Sunday. It has been a longgg time since I have done the weigh in, but I promised that I would start again. I am trying to make a new start of this whole thing. So the past 5 days I have increased my protein and exercise. Here is what happened: Surgery weight: 280lbs. 5 days ago: 221lbs this morning: 218.5lbs Total loss since surgery: 61.5 lbs Total. 3.5 lbs lost in 5 days ( keep in mind that I was stalled for the past month though) More protein must have been the answer to my stall. Thank you all for keeping my hopes up and giving me the motivation to try again. By the way I read through alot of your profiles and looked at the updated pictures. Everyone looks great. We have a bunch of HOT mamas on the May boeard now. lol Keep up the great work. Hugs Tina

Donnie, I am right there with you. My hair has been falling out for a couple months now. It is driving me crazy...hair everywhere. I fit in with the shedding cat & dog...lol. I went and had layers put in my hair and it has made it fuller. My surgeon said that he has never had a patient go bald and i don't want to be the first...lol. Kelly
