  OMG ..  it' can't be ... !!!   a MALE patient at a WLS support group meeting, and a year out, no less???  &8- O)  < CLUNK >               &:-D)    (happy upcoming surgiversary, btw)

The few...the proud...the SICK OF DOILIES and hormone discussions.


...and froo froo clothing exchange tables with no men's clothing on it.

   ROFLO!!!          speaking of clothing exchanges, we had one at the OH San Antonio event a few months ago and I stopped by just to see what was there ..  there was ONE small box of M clothing donated by apparently a sole donor ..   it didn't even look that large in size ..   grrrrr!    (but again, there were so few M post-ops at the event it was really amazing) ..      one suggestion I would make for future clothing exchanges:  please put sizes on the items, and it would help to organize the items by size (i.e. put all items of like type and size in one box), not by donor, and put up a sign or something with that size on it ..   it would make things go a lot easier and more smoothly ..

Well Jim, I guess all those scopes in every orafice made the back pain seem minimal I am taking liquid Ibuprofin on Drs. orders, with prilosec, just a week out.  I have hepaqtitus and have to be careful with both tylenol and ibuprofin.  I can take the tylenol to avoid potential problems with my GI tract but increase problems with my liver or vice-versa. Either way, follow the doseage either on the bottle or from your doc ... but then again, you know that.  Glad you pulled through okay, welcome back! Charlie
