I am dating this girl. When I put my finger inside of her I feel something metal on the left side of her wall. It feels about two inches long. I would like to know if anyone had any idea about what it could be. I am going to ask her but I want to have some type of idea before I asked.

My girlfriend has been losing a TON of weight over the past 6-8 months (she's now 5'7" and 106lbs). They haven't been able to figure out what's wrong with her, until a couple of days ago. They checked her gallbladder and said it was not functioning at all. They did a similar test a couple of months ago, but they said they found no stones, so the test was stopped. She's having her gallbladder removed tomorrow. Her friends and I have tried to suggest to her that she has an eating disorder (bulimia and anorexia run in her family). I thought the gallbladder helped digest fatty foods, but she swears that anything she eats makes her vomit or gives her diarrhea, to the point that she's lost all this weight. Does any of this 'add up' to anyone out there, or do you think she has gallbladder problems with a side of bulimia???

All my friends say I'm negative. They say I complain alot, critisize people and ask way to many questions. I'm glad that they're honest with me and I don't want answers like "Get new friends" or anything cause even my homeroom teacher says I'm negative. I really do complain alot (i.e. I'm so cold, I have a headache) I really don't think I'm negative but one time my Ex and I were in a fight and he told me to go see a shrink because I'm so Sad and angry all the time. As for critisizing people I'm a fashion addicttttt! I always see stuff like a classmate's belt is twisted or something and then It will really bug me until the problem is fixed. So i tell them about it, not meanly or anything i just say "your belt is twisted" or something plain like that. Also I cry alot like in the middle of the night I'll wake up and feel so bad and then I'll think of my cousin who drowned or my Ex.........Am I normal or should I go see someone about this?

Does having this surgery impair your ability to have children in the future?

I know during a pregnancy you have to be able to provide nutrition for the fetus and yourself as well,

but having this surgery whic is restrictive as well as malabsorptive, does this rule out having a child in the future?

I've been good friends with a great guy for like a year and a half, he calls me his sister. Recently I've found myself thinking of him more than a brother. (He's never showed any romantic interest.) i just started seeing someone and i told my friend about my new relationship. Well my friend says he wants to meet my boyfriend and all that. Well thursday my friend calls me and says let me take you to lunch, he's never done that. When I show up he's in his boxers and then while he's getting dressed in front of me he says, does your new boyfriend take you to lunch like i'm doing, do you really like him. i said, well he likes my daughter that's what matters. he said, i like your daughter too, and i'm not your boyfriend. does he like me, or what. what do you think? thankyou

I suffer from memory loss very badly. It's so severe, it's hard for me to pay attention in conversations. If a lot of information is thrown at me at once, I won't be able to remember it all. When I'm given directions to do something, I just think to myself, oh you better not mess this one up. I constantly say, "what was I just talking about?" "Why did I come in here?" and of course, I'm constantly misplacing things. If asked how my weekend was, I won't even remember what I did two days ago. I have to really concentrate for anything to come back to me. I don't remember always being so forgetful. In fact, my memory use to be very good. I'm 28, healthy, not depressed, educated. I've been feeling that I may just be 'dumb' and that's why I can't remember, but I hope there's a better answer out there.

I mean sex annonymous is just a meat farm of mostly old, burnt-out men who can't find any anymore. So there's no help coming from there.

I'm kinda confused about carbs...all the fad diets and celebrities say no carbs...but then I hear that carbs are okay and you need then. what is the bottom line on carbs if you are trying to lose weight.

If during hospitalization for internal bleeding from ulcers in the esphogus and esophogeal varies, the doctor suspects Hepatitis and runs a Hepatitis test, shouldn't the doctor tell you they are running these test and shouldn't the doctor give you these results? My husband was hospitalized for these two things on two different occasions. He saw the same doctor both times. The second time, the doctor ordered Hep testing, but did not tell us. He, my husband, never followed up with this doctor, he did not like the doctor. However, now we find out from another doctor, 3 years later, when he was hospitalized again, that he does indeed have Hepatitis C. We got the prior doctor's records and find out three years ago he was tested and came back positive. That's three years he could have been getting treatment. If he would have told us he suspected and was testing for Hepatitis C, we would have at least followed this up to get the results. Now the liver is to damaged to treat the hep.
