Health - 6 December 2006

I lost 70 lbs in the last year through illness. I was morbidly obese. I am still overweight, but not nearly so.
My problem is that I had some surgery, lost all that weight without excercise and now I have a saggy pouch like a kangaroo. My tummy is the only part of me that still looks fat. I can not afford cosmetic surgery as I am on medical pension, so I need alternative advice.
Thank-you.

I could give a lot more detail to my life. But let's just say yesterday I was fine and then suddenly today I just felt so down. Don't feel like doing anything. I think I want to be alone.

Has anyone else felt like this? What do you suggest doing?

Thanks

FACTS:
*i am in my 9th pack of birth control.
*i used to be extremely regular before.
*my doctor told me i will be irregular while my body adjusts to the pill, and i might miss periods or get some that last a little longer.
*i had been having periods lasted 3 to 4 days
*last time i skipped one period, and now i started this period a week early and have been bleeding since.
***i am on the 13th day of bleeding, and it has not stopped yet!!!

this is very annoying and worries me a lot!!!

QUESTION:
have you experienced this before?
is this ok, should i let it go?
should i get off the pill?
(can i really store that much blood there.....?)

Some of you are going to be immature enough to make fun of me, but this is a very serious matter. I am wondering if anyone has had or know of anyone with this problem:

I have been gaining weight like crazy. When I first realized this, it was about a year ago...and I had gained about 5 lbs in a couple of weeks. That was shocking to me, but not too tramatic. I decided to excercise a little more, adding 15 more mins to my walking per day, and 15 mins to my cardio 3 times a week. Nothing...as a matter of fact, I gained more weight. My diet never changed for the worse. I did not eat anymore nor did I eat anything unhealthy. BUT, I decided to cut the carbs almost completely and increased cardio by 5 more mins 3 times per week, leaving my walking the same. Still I gained. I thought I was pregnant...(missed my cycle), and wasn't. I have continued to gain. I have gained a LOT in the last yr, and 35 lbs since Sept in spite of a healthy diet and regular excercise. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? HELP!!

thanks so much for your answer. However she has not had it cut. It fills and drains on its own, so this tissue appeared on its own after the last drainage. If you could provide any more info I'd be so grateful since you work with a dr who deals with this directly. She says the cyst after draining becomes soft and mushy but this time there is this small thread of tissue. I guess my biggest worry due to my anxiey issues is cancer. Help ease my mind please and thank you.

At the age of 15 I weighed about 240lbs, with a height of about 5'10".
Now 18, I'm about 6'1" weighing about 180lbs. Is it possible for a person like me, being so unfit at one point in their life, be able to aquire the athleticism of a gymnist? My dream is to be able to do flips, move, and function with a body like a gymnist, or a skilled martial artist.

I'm in the NYC metro area, but I wonder if it's worth the trouble of going somewhere else (Calif.) to get a better price. Any advice on how to find a good doc?

I am a registered nurse and training naturpath and herbalist, but I am stumped. My big left toe is killing me, right in the joint area, it aches at the end of the day, dull ache with some sharp stabbing pains in the joint area.It hurts and aches when I point it downwards. There dosnt appear to be any swelling or redness. Started about 7 days ago, come and goes, might be good one day and then bad the next. It started during a 3km walk the other day and I had to limp home. Strong family history of athritis and gout. I am debating if to go to the doc.. i know they are just going to say, " get some panadol". Anyone got any ideas?

mom has a bartholin gland cyst that has fills and drains over the last 7 years. Sometimes with months assymptomatic. this last drainage left a pink thread like piece of tissue hanging from the drained cyst. she is seeing a dr next week but I'm worried. Anyone ever heard anything like this? Could it be a piece of the cyst sac? I suffer from severe anxiety and this is throwing me over the edge.

Recently..actually these few months my socializing skills have been lowering and i dont "feel" anything whenever someone says something extremely offensive or somebody tryin to make me feel good by commenting on somthing...

is it because of maturity? or my thoughts of the world that has changed?(I can do anything in life)
has this ever happened to you in life?
what has happen to me..im beginning to worry about my brain but then again..."I Cannot feel properly?"
I am going through teen life, is this wat its supose to hapen?
