Has anyone experienced white fingers?

I'm going to see a rheumatologist today to see what's going on. It bothers me when it's a tint of cold out and my boyfriend noticed that my feet are turning white as well.

I read up on the raynauds disease. I'm seeing a rheumatologist in 3 days about it. While I was reading they were saying something about lupus as well.

Has anyone experienced a sharp pain on the lower left rip? White fingers that go numb? And feeling like your vain in your foot is throbbing?

Okay thank you!

I'm 5 months out

My name is Haley. I'm 19 years old and I got the vertical sleeve gastrectomy on October 22. My surgeon was Dr. Boorse at the Lehigh Valley Hospital in Pennsylvania. I choose to get the surgery because I have dealt with my weight all my life. I tried taking diet pills, did weight watchers and so on. But I always seemed to gain the weight back. What really hit me and made me choose to get the surgery would be my doctor telling me I was at a high risk for a heart attack. It made me think do I want to have a heart attack at the age of 19? So from then on I decided to change my life to a healthier life style than what I was use to. My highest weight was 265 pounds. The day of surgery I weighed in at 245 and as of today I weigh 180 pounds.

Thank you to all. I needed a support group for after surgery. To know what I'm going through maybe others are going through as well. What were your complications?

Thank you both! Did you both get it done?
