Topic: Masshole Roll Call!

Hey - WHERE ARE YOU AT?

This is the MASSACHUSETTS BOARD - and it's WAY too quiet for wicked pissah people.

So. Let's talk.

Where are YOU from?

I am from Boston, well, Charlestown-- we moved to Pembroke, MA when I was little and I'm now in Plymouth.

I'd love to meet some people that are HERE. I know you're here.

Hi m m!

I had on again off again localized back and abdominal pain for about three days, then continual localized pain for about a day. I also was nauseous and tired, running a slight fever.

I hope this helps!

“There are times in my life when I have been medicine for

some while poison for others. I used to think I was a victim

of my story until I realized the truth that I am the creator of

my story. I choose what type of person I will be and what

type of impact I will leave on others. I will never choose the

destructive path of self and outward victimization again."

Ditto.

Congrats on making it this far.

I went from 320 > 150 in a year ---- insert life here ---- now 159 lbs 7.6 years later minus one RNY spouse and a lot of health. LOL.

May I ask how long you had symptoms -- and what they were?

(I ask because I have had undiagnosed gut pain for a very very long time... and I had exploratory surgery -- thought a Petersen's Hernia WAS the cause... it wasn't found. Still in pain.)

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too can become great. --Mark Twain

It’s easy to recognize a perfect goal support team candidate. Just look for someone who has a way of making everyone else around them better. Someone who wins by building others and letting them in on the fun. Someone who is genuinely happy when other people succeed. That’s the person you want on your side. The pages of history are heavy with tales of the misguided who were proven wrong while insisting something couldn’t be done. Why put up with that? Believe in your goals enough to know that you shouldn’t stomach people who don’t. It’s okay if you’re the only one who believes in your dream. But someone who truly believes in YOU should help you believe that if anyone can do it, you can

I know of several people who have also had a Persen's hernia. It is SO important for all to know the possibilities and more importantly to seek treatment. Thanks for sharing!
