I broke 3 ribs, shatered my left arm, broke my clevical, left lung colapsed, & severed anartery. I have no movement from my elbow down. The only feeling is constant tingling & various levels of pain. I have surgey scheduled on 7/12/07 to have nerves removed from the left leg & probably my right leg to be placed in my bicep & attached to the damaged nerves in my shoulder.

Close Obesity
I had gastric bypass 6 years ago. I lost 155 pounds. I gained 25 pounds. I wanted to lose 15 pounds. Jan 2, 2007 I had a horrible accident that changed my life forever. I have Brachial Plexus Injury. My left arm does not move or have feeling from the elbow down. I go to Mass General Hospital doctors for all my treatment. I’m stress eating therefore I’m gaining weight again. I want to talk to people instead of eating in hopes of controlling my stress. I’m looking forward to your help. Janelle

- Gastric Bypass Surgery Working / Worked
