Topic: Sppoky Halloween weigh-in--did the scale scare you?
It scared me!  Hopefully scared me straight!  Halloween parties, Halloween candy and a sore knee have conspired to help me go back up again. 

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week:  139.3
This week: 142.1
This week:  gain of 2.8 lbs 

I am NOT happy about this.  My knee better start cooperating so I can run more.  I'll be glad if the trick-or-treaters clean me out of candy tonight!

Late morning/very early afternoon would work for me.  My sister will have just had her surgery.  I have clothes to bring, and I am in 2x or so, and in need of stuff.

Thanks!
Mary

Jen... Thank you for doing this... I already have it on my calendar and am planning on being there. I have clothes size 26/28 (3x-4x) that I will be bringing plus I have never really cleaned out my closets and have 3 kids ages 8 (boy) 14 (boy) and 16 (girl) and a husband (size XL-XXL) so if there is a need for any other sizes of clothing (Infants-adults) please let me know and I will be happy to bring some of those as well if anyone is interested... I am about an hour southwest of Minneapolis and have a few friends in the area, both WLS and non-WLS who I know would be interested so I could possibly get at least one car-load (if not 2) full of ladies... Michelle

Good morning Linda....great to see you back....it has been a long time!

I had my gall bladder removed years before my RNY. I have never had issues with it. I am so sorry you are having problems and will have to have another surgery.  The G tube is more of a nuisance then anything. I had one for at least a month after my RNY. I remember when they finally took it out how wonderful that felt.

I am wishing you the very best with your surgery. Please keep us updated. Again....glad you are back!

Hugs....connie d

I'm in!!!  I'm bringing in a bunch of 3X things, some 2X things, and an awesome 4X peacoat.

Hopefully someone will be bringing some 1X and XL stuff that I can take  :)

Have you thought about "advertising" this event on some of the main boards?  I think there are some people on there who don't realize that this MN forum exists...

Good for you-  I hope I didn't sound mean but the process is daunting so I just think you have to
always know what's going down.  Best wishes to you-  I hope that the new staff member makes your journey easier!

Topic: Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction
Hi Everyone! I have been MIA for a while, mostly just life got busy. But I have truly enjoyed coming back and reading up on all that is new! Was just wondering if any of you once you had your gallbladder removed, (mine was removed alittle over a year after Gastric Bypass) have had to deal with on going attacks and been diagnosed w/ Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction. I will be having surgery to fix this problem in Dec,(surgeons will be Dr. Freeman and Dr. Leslie at The U) I will have a G tube in for a month  (kinda nervous about that) the G tube is mostly for docs to have access if need be so they dont have to cut me open again. Just wondering how it turned out for others!!

This has been the best decision besides marriage and kids that I have ever made!!
