Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 HI , Welcome to our group! Yep, on balance, life in the OC is great. I read a survey in a women's magazine last month that has it rated as " the healthiest place in the US for women to live " ! Well us WLS gals are certainly getting healthier. Your losses are fantastic - don't stress about the plateau - it will pass. Same problem here - but I think most of it is down to constipation! YUCK! Carol, Anaheim Hills, CA Lap RNY 4/2/04 235/149/135 New to the Group Hi Robyn and everyone!!! Thank you Robyn for inviting me to join your group. My name is , I currently live in Missouri. I'm one of those the marriage didnt survive the WLS. So me and the kids are heading back to CA in June after they get out of school. I lived in San Diego when I was younger. We are very excited and are wanting to move to the Orange County area. I had Lap RNY on July 19, 2004. I've lost 70 pounds so far. Combined with the weight I lost prior to surgery thats 104 pounds this year. Can hardly believe it. Though I seem to be at a plateau (my first one) and its aggrevating!!! But anyway, I wanted to say hello and cant wait to make new friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Hi fellow Missourian! I live in St. Louis --where are you located? Congrats on being a big loser but I'm sorry to hear about your marriage. It sounds like you've got a good plan for recovering from it--that's a good thing! > Hi Robyn and everyone!!! > > Thank you Robyn for inviting me to join your group.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi Carole: I'm glad to have you with us. You had a quick diagnosis! Had you ever had any symptoms before that you can now attribute to MS?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I've had parts of my face feel numb in the past, like my lip ....and when I think about it there had been some blurred vision mostly at night but I never considered it "blurred" I didn't think much about it because my mother started having trouble with her night vision when she was about my age.....there were times in the past where I seemed to lose my balance for no reason (but who doesn't once in awhile...right?)

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi I am new to this group. My husband was diagnosed with Chiari 2 yrs back but the symptoms where under control. Now he has started feeling numbness in his tongue and finger tips. We live in Chicago and I am trying to find a good neurosurgeon in Chicago area. Could anyone please suggest a hospital/neurosurgeon who specializes in this. Appreciate your help thanks Priya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
