MY dad is having a cardiac bypass surgery on friday. I am only 12 so i don't know a lot about it. BUt i was wondering, is it ever deadly? Like about what percent of people that have had it go in breathing and come out not?

I've alwas been pretty thin, and so has my mum, but my gran and my aunt were thin until their late teens then got seriously overweight.
I'm 18 and in the past 6 months have gained about 14 lbs and continue to put on more weight all the time, despite not eating over 2000 calories a day and keeping fairly active. Why am I gaining so much weight? It's really upsetting that a lot of my lovely clothes don't fit any more and I'm worried I'll end up obese like my aunt and gran. I've had my blood checked for problems with my thyroid but it's normal. Please help!?

Is there a certain type of food that if you were to eat nothing but it for your entire life, it would sustain you?

ok, well, this morning i woke up, and decided to play on my piano, when suddenly i got a weird, sharp pain near my ring finger, it only lasted a second. now, i have a weird feeling from my elbow to my wrist. it's not painful, but it feels really strange, not really numb.. it's hard to explain, it feels like my veins kinda lost circulation. it's a come and go thing. btw, yesterday, i only played the keyboard for an hour or and hour and a half. I didn't have any pains this morning when i woke up, it just appeared when i was playing the piano. Should I be concerned? Or is it just a passing cramp, or just a way that i slept last night?

Extra info: it bothers me more near my elbow than my wrist. nothing else hurts. i did nothing that would be to hard on my hands. i do take rests. this has only happened to me now. i didn't have any pain yesterday and i slept fine. i could make a tight fist, i have a good grip and i could tell the difference between hot and cold.

Thank you!

Ok, this is really weird but i'm so not athletic, i play no sports at all. Yet i'm more buff and strong than my friends who are in athletic teams. The thing with me is I am crazy with workouts and really spazzes out when doing it. However, when it comes to sports i'm just not interested AT ALL. Is this possible? I mean i workout more for the looks than the actually applicability of the muscles to things like sports.

My obgyn just called me and told me that I had abnormal results on my pap smear. I am completely devastated. I have to go in to have a cervical sample taken. She told me that mine is the "mildest" of all of the different classes of abnormal pap smears. What exactly does that mean? Does that mean that I don't have cancer or does it mean I probably don't....or what? She tried to calm me and said that it was abnormal cell growth but I'm scared.

I have a one year old little boy who is my entire world and I'm frozen with fear. I'd also like to have at least 1 more child and that is upsetting me to. Does anyone have some insight? I'm just so upset, I can barely do anything. I can't go in for the cervical sample procedure until next week....then I have to wait 1+ weeks for the results. I'm not sure how to cope with the unknown for 3 more weeks. Help. :(

So is that type 2 diabetes, am I going to have to rush out and buy a bunch of stuff? I realize I have to reduce or quit sweets, fats, and white starchy foods. But I feel overwhelmed with all the info. Any advice? I really had eaten alot of oj and sweets before that blood test, could it be just that day?They think not in the lab, it said its been going on for a while. Where do they start with pills? And do I have to immediately do a bundh of blood metor procedures and carry juice if I get shakey?

I'm 28 years old, 4'11" & around 140 lbs. I'd like to lose 20 lbs. I work out 4-5 times a week (a mixture of both cardio & medium intensity strength training) & I try to watch what goes into my body.

I've dabbled in whey protein before, but always lost interest pretty quickly so I never really stuck with it. Would consistantly using whey protein (one or two shakes a day) help with my weight loss goals? Also, are most brands pretty much the same?

On my inner thighs and around my buttocks. I'm a virgin, It's not herpes or anything like that for the retards who want to say that but they start out like hard bumps and turn red, sometimes they bleed or just burst like regular pimples.

Are these ingrown hairs gone wrong or something else. Help please!

When do most people start their periods. I'm thirteen and havn't. And only one of my friends hasn't either.
I've heard that you start with people you are with a lot. And it's usually just her and guy friends. And I don't know if it's normal to not have started now or what.
Thanks for the help.
Much love
Bre
