Lise - My energy worker told me the same thing at the time...then when I finally had it out it was so full of stones and crud they had to enlarge the incision. I truly appreciate Eastern/alternative options but sometimes you have to go with a more traditional approach.

Regarding weight loss, I was so sick while waiting for my surgery (had to wait a month to get in to my preferred doc) I lost twelve pounds and was pasty gray and sick...and everyone told me how wonderful I looked with the weight loss.
