Topic: Bariatric Connect

I am looking for a woman to share my hotel room with 2 queen beds on Friday and Saturday nights at the conference. The cost for the room is really high for me on my own, but totally manageable with a roommate! Interested?

Topic: RE: Yay for Culver's No Sugar added Custard!

Well I didn't realise this post was a 2006 post cars I asked a 25 year employee of culvers about that because I was very interested in a low carb low fat sugar-free ice cream from culvers and they don't have one never had one so I don't know if somebody just lied and played a cruel joke on her or him or what I don't know but they said they have never in the 25 years that person had been working there have they ever had sugar-free custard and any location I just want to throw that in there because I people can be cruel especially when they like to make fun of people and so I just wanted to let you know there's no such thing I don't want people to embarrass themselves because they were told something that somebody was told taking on them

Topic: 18 years post op and getting foamies again

About 10 weeks ago I started to be only ably to eat about 1/3 of a cup. ( I had been up to 1.5 cups). And now the foamies have started. It's awful but I'm losing weight which is a good thing Worried there is something wrong but can't make a dr believe me I have intermittent abdominal pain and had my gallbladder checked and found out my liver has grown to 3 times its size ( both organs are healthy) the liver growth is a thing that happens in 17% of women though not to my degree Barriatric dr knew my liver was large 18 yrs ago but said it was healthy then too Now it's very large totally unrelated to surgery But I can't get help and my gp won't believe me I am in chronic pain constantly and this began post op They say unrelated too It's neck and spinal problems Take calcium!!
I give up, something will show it's self someday and a dr will find it!

Topic: RE: Adhesions and Scar tissue

Yes I do!! Had to have my bowel pinned in 2007 and now if I stay in a fetal position too long, like sick in bed for any length of time I will adhere myself (inside) to other organs. After the surgery to repair my bowel I had to go back to surgery to separate scar tissue and adhesions between liver and abdominal wall. They are painful and hard to make doctors understand or believe.

Topic: RE: How can I effectively overcome bad habits and anxiety?

Weight comes down to the simple equation that the amount of calories you consume and burn determines how much you will weigh. In my many years of struggling with weight, I have had the best results with the new Weigh****chers program which is drastically different than the old one. Many people are having success with the diabetes drugs that are being prescribed for weight loss. You can also find mental and emotional support through Overeaters Anonymous.

Topic: How can I effectively overcome bad habits and anxiety?

I've been struggling with bad habits and anxiety for a while and I'm looking for a natural and effective way to overcome these challenges. Traditional methods haven't worked well for me, and I'm interested in exploring alternative approaches that focus on mental and emotional wellness. Can you recommend any solutions that have proven results?

In my pursuit of a band-to-something else revision I've come across two surgeons in the DFW area: Dr. Ayoola and Dr. Cribbins.
Is anyone familiar with either of these guys and what is your impression, good bad or otherwise? In my haste to have revisional surgery I don't want to just go with whoever can get me in the soonest, but who will help me achieve the best long term outcome.
thanks!

the surgeons on Thst list may have paid a fee to be included, as well.

P.S. I just noticed there are no surgeons on here from the Mayo Clinic. That should tell you something.
