I haven't had this in 20 years...pink eye. Both eyes. {sigh}  Yeah, if it gets too painful, I'll go see my PCP. I really just don't need this right now as we're going to be doing heavy eye work the next few days. At least I'm not having to travel by plane as things could have happened. Anyway, it is what it is.

POLL QUESTION:
What is the latest and most interesting study or article you've read about WLS, nutrition, vitamins, conditions resulting from WLS, etc?  Our next support group meeting will be to share a study or article we think is relevant and passes the common sense and not to obvious tests. Got one or more to share? Opinions about articles welcome. Please post a link.

 Ugh - pink eye!  That requires meds... sooner the better and very contagious... 

As far as articles go, nothing pops into my head, but there is a Bariatric medical site that you had made me aware of, that I enjoy reading some of the articles from.  I'll see if I can find it on my computer at home.

Sorry about your pink eye.  Get some meds and get it cleared up.  No need to struggle and remember it is contagious.

I get Sparkpeople online and there are articles there each morning.  Not necessarily WLS related but fitness/weighloss related.  it's been ages since I have read a WLS article.  Looking forward to what others have been reading.

Want to drive a pony then meetings all afternoon.  found out last night at Zumba that my club now has a water Zumba.  the way my knees hurt this morning, I may need to try that this evening.  I just hate to do another evening class, exp one that I will be wet at the end and have to shower and change instead of just heading home.  We'll see.

Never had pink eye, so I don't know what you are going through but I do know its not fun. I am sorry you got it :( Right before the weekend too, GAH!

Well, my addiction lately has been vitamin books and pregnancy books. I really want to be a mom and I want to be very healthy before that happens. It won't happen for another year or so but I am being overly prepared. Vitamin books are fun to look into and see how things affect you, very interesting.

Hope you get your pink eye cleared up quickly!!

I'm traveling today so I'm loaded up and heading out in just a minute.  I won't be bac****il late this afternoon.  WOW, we had a lot of books to deliver out today.  I guess that could be my exercise today!!

I can't think of any articles, I pretty much read fiction books-romance & mystery.  I do click on the links that some of you provide here and read some of those.  I bet you could find a good vitamin link that you have shared with us in the past.

Hope everyone has a good day today.

You are in pain with Pink Eye and there I was texting you this morning.    I think you can buy pink eye medication over the counter.

Go get the pink eye treated...Most employers won't even let you work since it is contagious. And staart using/carrying your own santitizer wipes for use outside the house, esp shopping cart handles. That's where my friend, Kelly, said she picked hers up.

As to articles, the one I found most interesting was one that was done by endocrinologists. It mentions reactive hypoglycemia, but most bariatric sugeons did not read it, apparently. jcem.endojournals.org/content/94/3/709.full.pdf

Then there is this article by Dr. Roslin: www.lenoxhillhospital.org/press_releases.aspx

There was also this article on NSAIDS: bariatrictimes.com/2010/01/21/marginal-ulcers-after-roux-en- y-gastric-bypass-pain-for-the-patient%E2%80%A6pain-for-the-s urgeon/
