Hi everyone... It has been a long while since I have posted. I had my gastric bypass surgery in 12/2004.... these last few years I have been going thru some health issues.... severe hypoglycemia (my blood sugar level can plummet to 30 after in about an hour after a meal for no reason. (I am not eating high sugar items) , many bone issues (the discs in my back are either compressed, herniated or have bone spurs.... my ribs are all fractured... my bones are very soft and break easily, and now I am having problems with my pancreas. They are talking about removing part of my pancreas which would then make me a diabetic. I have had a surgery every year since my gastric bypass. I know I cant be the only one out there with these issues. Anyone else going thru this? My gastric bypass surgeon claims he has not heard of any other patients having any of the problems I am experiencing... and that might be because after the surgery... they don't go back when problems arise. I am really looking for a support group of people who can say I am not crazy. Maybe my body is deficient in something that no one has tested me on? At one point I thought I had lupus... I went to an endocronologist who ruled out lupus and thought maybe MS...the neurologist ruled out MS saying I was too out for it but really thought I had lupus.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this group and looking for some help. I am hopefully having surgery sometime this month with Dr. Peters and his program requires the use of Optifast. I am unemployed and a single Mom and can not afford to buy it so if anyone has any leftover they would be willing to either sell me really cheap or give me I would be forever grateful and will pay it forward if there is any extra when I am done.
Thank You in advance

Hello everyone!
I am Linda. My RnY was February 2008. My starting weight was 280 and I reached my goal of 140 after about two years. I've maintained that weight ever since.
I help run a support group in NJ and consider myself a huge advocate for weight loss surgery. I haven't done much formally in that area, but I do spend a lot of time supporting and encouraging folks who are considering surgery or have undergone it.
I am transitioning to the Delaware shore and looking for some folks in the area who might be interested in forming a group around here, even if its just informally, or seasonally.
I am a long time OHer but haven't been around much lately. I hope to hear from a few of you here in Lower, Slower Delaware for potential friendships and camaraderie.
Happy fourth!!!
