Hi, I am new, my name is Mustard, I had my surgery done 1 year ago on the 29th of October - NO PROBLEMS = I was 64 years young, Type 2 diabetes, really bad sleep apena, high blood pressure, high triglicidries (sp) you name it - I wighed 250, now down to 190, I have taken it slow and easy, not wanting to look like a Cambodian refugee, no harm meant by that, but I feel awesome, my hair did almost all fall out even though I was getting the proper protein and vitamins. I never vomited, never choked, have had diareah spells but nothing bad until yesterday, I have pressure in my lower bowel seems like it does feel like it did when and if you were ever pregnant, the baby would put pressure on the lower part of your body. Has anyone heard of this, I have taken gas x everything, won't go away/ This is the best thing that has ever happened to me was to have the gastric by pass- so much better, feel so wonderful until this little bend in the road came along.
