I am 17, and i am 6'5, and i weigh 320 lbs. I played football this last year and it was tough due to my being out of shape and i want/need to lose weight. I worked out all winter and played baseball in the spring but i just cant seem to take and/or keep any weight off!! I am taking rediculous amounts of insulin just to keep my blood sugars OK but this is going to kill me if it keeps going on like this. All i need to know is if gastric bypass is a viable option for a type 1 diabetic? and if it isnt then what should i try??

Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated

Thanks

Has anyone just walked into a pub gone into a toilet, got the condoms and walked out, and if your stopped can you just say "oh I'd like to buy some condoms, mind if I go in the toillet" technically it is a purchase, and technically you aren't actually using the toilet

No president has ever had a cold sore, nor any of my teachers that I can remember. Anything else? I would image customer service and public eye positions the most.

Just yesterday I found out I have Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HPV). I have only slept with one person, we're broken up now and are currently not on speaking conditions. However, I feel the need to inform him (although I am aware that there is no way to test males for HPV) because I believe he has just started to date a new girl and I don't want her to be caught by surprise (or cancer).

Is it possible that I contracted it from him? We lost our virginity together, but I know he was active on the dating front for a long while before we met - and he was pretty much my first sexual experience altogther. But he still could've had it without having sex, right?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to bring it up to him? We haven't spoken for about a month and a half, as I have been very angry with him. I'm unsure of how to even begin to approach him. Any personal stories/suggestions?

Can condoms (or any other protection) cut down risk of transmission?

i had a kidney stone a few months ago. my doctor told me i was too young to be getting them (i'm 18) and since i didn't catch the stone when it came out, he really couldn't tell me why i was getting them. he basically told me to drink lots of water (already did), not drink pop (haven't in over 2 years), and stay away from certain foods (didn't eat most of them in the first place.) then, he went on to tell me that i was a "stone builder" since i have two more lodged in my kidney. the only food i can really say i have a problem with is chocolate- i'm addicted to it. could this be part of the reason? and would it really matter all that much if i ate it since i'm a "stone builder" anyway?

thanks for your help! i meant to ask my urologist but i can't get in for a few months. boo. :( kidney stones are the worst though, i wouldn't wish them on anyone.

I went to Night time sick call and was placed in a triage on
the main floor. Nothing after that made any rhyme or reason
as I had been taking pain medicine for a previous fall and it
was not agreeing with me. All my meds were stopped for
24 hours and not even diabetes medicine or heart medication
was given and I was placed in a room with very cold air con-
ditioning going full blast and no one could modify it for me.
Since I did not receive my Trazadone, I could not go to sleep
and the next day I was diagnosed as bi- polar as opposed
to the diagnosis of Dr. Johnnie Bonner who was the first Dr.
to turn me around in the beginning. Is this preparing for the
increase in PTSD expected at all the VA hospitals, if so it
will be a rude awakening for those with other medical problems. To find all medication cut off and no logical reason
given for the change. Expensive tests including an MRI were
ordered and nothing seemed to justifiy the change in medication. No reason given

I'm 14 and I've been told that I have cholesterol levels of 30 pts. higher than normal by my doctor. I was wondering what cholesterol was exactly, how it affects me, and what it can lead to.
Also, could anyone tell me how or what to do in order to lower it back to normal levels. Thank you all so much.
