Hi Lorraine....sorry about the tanning bed experience. I've been trying to get outside in the sun lately....I was never much on the tanning beds. Have you got your dress your wearing to your neice's wedding? luvitsunnyv

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced any type of pain over the past year. Back in November of 05 I started having pain that started in by back and came around to my abdomen. The pain was so bad that I could not stand up straight, nor eat or lay down. I was in the hospital for 5 days. Several tests were run and I was on morphine for the pain, but even morphine did not take the pain away. I had a scope done, CT, ultrasound, blood tests, and everything came back normal. At the end of December I had the same pain return. I went to the ER and to my regular PCP for another ultrasound. The doctor told me it may be ovarian cysts and treated me with antibiotics and pain medication. He also referred me to a ob/gyn. I went to the ob/gyn and was told that the pain could not be caused from a cyst. Middle of Febuary the pain returned again, another CT scan and another specialist sending me to another ob/gyn. This ob/gyn told me the same thing again and said that it was not a problem with my reproductive organs. Anyway, I have seen so many doctors and I have a lot of anxiety about when the pain will return again. I have missed several days from work and just want someone to tell me what is going on with my body. I am going to go to my gastric-bypass surgeon for follow up this time, but I just wanted to know if anyone was experiencing anything like what I am going through.

Hi Jess, I think many of us are 'stuck' above of where we all wanted to be. I would like to remove another 50lbs, but....You may be where your body wants you to be. You could change your exercise schedule, up the protein, reduce the carbs. It may or may not help. Sorry I couldn't help more. Nona
