Guest guest Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 My doctor sent me for a CT scan of the abdomen because I have been having right sided abdomen pain with a on an off " orange size " buldge, it showed an anterior abdominal hernia, well since I have also gained some pounds I decided to take these results to my WLS and discuss my weight gain, I was very dismayed when he said stop eating cheese and handed me a prescription for EPHEDRA!!! I said maybe my stoma or pouch had stretched cause I can feel food go down to my pouch and immediately start circling down my intestines, I only fell full a couple minutes, he said even if it is so, theres nothing that can be done just take the ephedra and check back in 3 months. Needless to say, I won't be taking it. Ann in SoCal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
