Can I be banned please. I asked to be removed over a week ago and I can still log in and post!! No-one knows what goes on behind closed doors - and there's lots of closed doors involved in all this

Don't beans and pulses make one windy - thinking of that scene in Blazing Saddles with the beans round the camp fire!! Silly five minutes over - sorry!! xxx

I think there are some capsules that you can get called Windeze. Wind problems are supposed to be worse for DSers - but I was always a windy soul - so no difference for me!! Several fellow sufferers swear by Citrus Magic air freshener - if I use anything I use Febreze or Oust...

CaCit is better absorbed than the other forms of calcium. Most calcium carbonae goes out in the urine rather than being absorbed whereas CaCit changes from carbonate to citrate in water. Just wait for the first fizz to go and don't let it stand or it starts to precipitate and is awful. I...

Aw you are having a rough time of it!! Hope they sort the diabetes and your kidneys out quickly. Once they get one right the other will probably follow quite quickly - as someone said Kidney problems and diabetes go together. Keep positive - and try not to worry. We are all thinking of...

Well done on being in recovery for 4 years - my hubby has also been recovering for about 4 years and has had a liver transplant. You are bound to worry about addiction transfer - I beleive if one has an addictive personality then any addiction may be a problem. Could you ask for CBT or other...

I was told sleevies don't usually dump - and neither do DSers but I'm sure I have on a couple of occassions - can't remember what triggered it - but am sure it was something sweet once - felt awful and had terrible diarrhoea So I think we can and do sometimes xxx

No idea about your question - hope you get your op soon though. A friend of mine had a tummy tuck and breast reduction and has just had some revision plastics and was back at work within 2 weeks of the TT and 2 days of the revision!! Glad though your liver is recovering after the drugs - a...

Thought it was me - not griping - but getting fed up with it!! Back to if you can't say anything nice don't say owt at all I suppose!! I'll put it down to my age (53) - maybe I'm just touchy!! Hugs all round xx

It can take up to 6 weeks for the anaesthetic to go from your system - thats why some insurers won't let you drive for 6 weeks. I wonder if your tingling/numbness is from the position they have you in while they do the op - they do tip us in some funny ways to get to the bits they want. Wonder...

I started out at a good 32/34 - I'm about 5' 3" (have been 5' 4 1/2" lol) I never planned any particular size - just 10st lose over the 18 mth window. Now 13 1/2 st lighter and a 10/12 - with no bottom whatsoever!! despite having a big bottom before - I can hardly believe it!! And I...

Very sad. And some of the comments - well just to be expected I suppose. Just heard of the passing of a friend from another forum - BUT I have no idea if this was WLS related or not - even though this person overshot their target and had had a Petersens hernia. We all know the risks - but...

I tried the protein shakes and Nectar - and because of the duodenal switch need 100gm a day - and I found they all make me feel sick. I do have the very occassional Atkins bar - but most are chocolate and thats not my favourite and Atkins ready to drink shakes - which are 15gm per carton. I...

I didn't think I'd ever get my knees replaced - but it did happen 18mths and a year ago. I had my op - because the surgeon felt it was best for my eating habits and my super morbid obesity. Still get terrible back pain - going to ask about it again next time I see a GP - they had given up on...

I have more saggy skin than a saggy skin shop!! BUT apparently I look like a normal thin person with my clothes on!!! Not my words - but my mum-in-law - and you'd never know I'd once been fat!! She is stressed bless her (dad in law has severe dementia) - but I think she sees OK!! xxx

In a way yes and in a way no!! I injured my back in 83 lifting patients and have OA from neck to bum - and this does play up - mostly when I least expect it!! And from bone-on-bone arthritis in my knees I have had knee replacements - but these are still very painful - and I still use my...

It's awful being able to only shop in Evans or the JD Williams companies - especially when my mum and I ordered the same things!! Its such a relief to be able to go into any shop for clothes now though lots of shops have larger size ranges - Sainsburys and Matalan g up to a 28 - and some of...

I agree with Karlos - if I had my time again I'd not get super morbidly obese. However hindsight always has 20:20 vision!! I have no regrets though it's not always an easy ride - just wish I could have had the op 10 years ago before the arthritis got so bad xxx

I agree you will have to do what your team tells you. If you can post what op you are having and where you live or are having your op - in your profile - someone might be able to be more specific for you. Another thing - don't get too much in , in advance because your tastes change so...

Brilliant news - sad you had a tumour but good it was benign. Your date will soon be here - good luck with the Slimfast diet xxxx
