I don't usually post, but was very concerned about your post. I have a friend who had the type problem you are having and almost died. The doctor she saw was was not familiar with her surgery. She had a kink in her instestines caused by the large amount of weight she had lost. Go to the doctor and make sure you see someone that is familiar with Gastric Bypass. My prayers are with you.

Topic: RE: what can cause...........
Vickie, I have no idea what can cause this, but for goodness sake, you are asking the wrong people; we can sympathize and we can support (and we do!) but you need serious medical help. Go to the emergency room, if that's what it takes for someone to take you seriously. Unexplained abdominal pain of this magnitude should not be ignored. A CT scan is great, but if that didn't uncover the problem, you need to keep digging. Push your physician, and if he/she isn't giving you the attention and follow up you need, then find another doctor to see. Did you ask your WLS surgeon for help? Have you seen a gastroenterologist? Those are the two people I would call, if I were in your situation. Please get the help you need. What you are feeling is not normal. I hope you feel better soon and find the cause of this pain. Post again and let us know how you are doing. Sheryl

Ok I am almost one year out , i have been having so much pain,i have terrible pain in my belly,i have to get intoa fetal position and just cry for 2 hrs until it lets up. It comes on so hard after i eat. I had adhesions surgery in june and the pain is worse than it was that time. I went to the doc last week and he gave me darvocets,i swear this is candy forthe kinda pain i am in. I have gotten to the point that i am praying to die,when i get in the pain,all i can say is why did i do this to myself..............i had a ct scan last week and nothing showed up....................well i had to vent.........i will go call my doc. thanks vickie r.

Topic: RE: Change dates for reunion????
I'm OK either way - I will try to come whenever this takes place. But I do wonder if we would have more fun with a bigger group - any interest in extending an invitation to the Aug 05, Sep 05, Nov 05, and Dec 05 groups? As our active participation on this board dwindles, I think I would like to consolidate this board somehow, with the months surrounding ours. We have so mu*****ommon, being at similar points along the path. Just my two cents. Sheryl

Topic: RE: Expecting
Julie, this is such amazing news! I am absolutely thrilled for you and your husband. And now you can look forward to a much healthier pregnancy (and better ability to keep up with your little one) since your weight is down to a much healthier level. I am so excited for you! I went through 2 years of infertility before becoming pregnant, and I treasure my children every day, I know it will be wonderful for you as well. Take good care of yourself, watch your nutrition carefully, and I hope you have an easy pregnancy! Post again and let us know how you are doing. Best wishes, Sheryl

Topic: I'm so discouraged
I had my surgery 10/18/05. Here it is a few days from my anniversay and I feel like i should have lost more weight by now. I have lost 92 bls and I am grateful for that. I was hoping to be over the 100 lbs mark by now. The other thing that's freaking me out is that my appetite has increased. There are days where it seems like I eat all day. Then there are days that I hardly eat anything. So I just don't know what to think.
