I like melting Mamma, but there are a lot of things that could have caused her seuzure disorder. Take that story for what it is worth.

Topic: Can anyone share Vitalady success stories please?
Hi folks. I usually hang out on the DS board, where I'm a fixture of sorts :-).
I'm back in college. Monday I'm scheduled to do a presentation under the heading, "a woman who changes lives," and I'm going to talk about Vitalady. I'm in need of some stories from people whom she has helped, not just by having the right supplements available, but by her communication with you. Fake names and no photos or identifying details will be used.
If you have a story you'd like to share (a link, if you've already written it elsewhere, is great), would you be so kind as to send me a PM? You know how unreliable the email message notification function is on this site :-/.
Thanks in advance! EN

Topic: RE: Frustrated with surgeon
I understand how you are feeling! I went through the same thing. I had my surgeon tell me that my pain couldn't have been from surgery and that adhesions don't cause pain. So I had my obgyn go in to look for endometriosis. He couldn't even get in because of all the scar tissue and adhesions! You know your body better the best, if something doesn't feel right then keep complaining. Don't take no for an answer. I finally switched surgeons and she went in and cut out all the adhesions and fixed a hernia while she was in there.
Wishing you luck!

Topic: seizure disorder after RnY?
I'am in the process of having wls,and still unsure of which one to have at this point. I thought I wanted to have the RnY but I've read several stories of people having a seizure disorder years after their surgery. It is very scary and I just wanted to know if anyone has or knows anyone who has had this? Thanks.
Topic: Frustrated with surgeon
Please spay and neuter your pets!
As in my post below, I've had abdominal pain and gas/bloating after eating with nausea since the end of January. I've been scoped, had a CT scan with contrast and now an Upper GI with small bowel follow through. All have been negative and the surgeon says there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with me. I feel like they're throwing their hands up. They suggested the next step would be for me to "eat 3 small meals a day and maybe go back to soft foods for a while". The pain doesn't happen every day. It doesn't happen after specific foods. I thought it was another ulcer (i've already had 2 post-op and had to have a revision due to an ulcer that wouldn't heal) but since I've been on a PPI ([Prilosec and Protonix) since the pain started (over 3 months) with no change, the doctor said it's impossible. Even if it was in the remnant stomach, the anti-acid PPI drugs would have fixed it by now. I KNOW something's wrong. Pain is not normal. But if there are no tests that will show why I'm having this pain I don't know what else to do. I thought maybe it's adhesions/scar tissue or even a hernia, but again, they're not showing. ARGH, I'm so very frustated and I'm not sure what my next step is. I'm going to see my Primary Dr on Thursday. She's a pitbull and won't give up on trying to fix this.

Topic: RE: ulcer in remnant stomach??
Hi, I am 6 years out this past October. I ended up having a marginal ulcer, one of the worst pains ever! But, before they figured out that was the cause of the pain they thought it was scar tissue. I had surgery for the scar tissue and seemed great for a week or two, then the same pain started back up. So, apparently the symptoms are similar perhaps you cold ask your dr. about the scar tissue thing. I actually did have to have the scar tissue fixed so it wasn't an unnecissary surgery, but it was not the cause of all of my pain.
Hope this helps!

In my case they went in lap and took a look (after bowel obstructions) and found an internal hernia that did not show on any test, multiple scans ultra sounds, xrays, etc. Good luck!
