Guest guest Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 My common channel is 85cm and I am losing weight quickly. I have had minor problems with diarrhea but nothing debilitating. Joy has a 100cm common channel and is losing weight VERY slowly. She has had no diarrhea problems. Regards.

I am doing fine, weight loss has slowed enough that too much is not going to be a problem and blood work is perfect. Dawn, I am very glad to hear of you and doing so well, because there were a few people who had shorter common channels who are having problems with diarreah, so glad that it is not everyone with this problem Kathy B Dr. Elariny ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 Ok, question on the common channel. Are any of you with a common channel of less than 100cm looking at having children? My concern is once I loose the weight that the shorter common channel will be more dificult to absorb enough nutrients to feed both myself and a fetus? Also, anyone that had the surgery and is planning on getting pregant have any concerns with breat feeding? Thanks!
