Pizza Rolls who would have guessed

Feb 21, 2010

On Saturday night about 11:30 p.m. I ended up at the ER about 2 hours after eating pizza rolls.  Never thought they would get stuck since I had eaten them before.  This time there was a new female Dr. at the ER.  They say men don't listen well this Dr. did not listen to anything I said and proceeded to treat me for something stuck in my throat.  What an ass, after 2 hours of agonizing pain with me not even able to swallow my own spit she sent me to the radiologist.  He took one picture and said there was too much fluid in my stomach to get a clear picture.  He then proceeded to squirt some contrast into my throat which made me puke all over myself and the floor.  That must have dislodge the stuck pizza rolls because I was fine after that.   It look like 2 cups of fluid, I hope all that did not stretch my pouch any.  I called my surgeon the next day and he said "oh yeah I recommend to all my patients to throw up any way they can in these situations".  What gets my goat is why he does not tell you these great bit of info before where they might be useful, but instead waits until after the fact.  I am starting to think he is like Nostradamus, 100% right after the event happened, not before.   Now I am going to see if I can get some ipecac to have around in-case I need to use for emergency pukage, LOL.  Then the next thing the surgeon ask is what I weigh.  I hate that cryptic crap, what is he getting at.  I think he is thinking of enlarging my stoma with a endoscope balloon.  He said something of that the last time I got some food stuck.  I could be wrong, maybe he thinks pizza rolls is a bad food choice.  I don't care, I just got back from ridding my bicycle 20 miles and need the carbs.  I will say this all of you out there are responsible for you.  Don't trust the Dr. at the ER, question every move they make.  I did and I am making a formal complaint against that Dr. at the Hospital.  A administrator said they have had several complaints against that Dr., so I will add mine.  Why should I feel afraid to go to the ER for help just because the Dr. they does not know about Gastric Bypass.  Maybe my complaint will educate her.
