Frustration
Sep 29, 2010
I went to my 6 month appointment today and the good news is I've lost 106 pounds, but the bad is that I have to have exploratory surgery next week. About a month ago I started getting really bad nausea and pain where my gallbladder used to be. CT scan didn't show anything, 2 trips to the ER and all the ER Dr. could come up with was residual pain from my GB surgery and because I'm losing weight and things are shifting it's causing pain. I tell this to my surgeon today and he doesn't think that's the case. He says that something is causing these symptoms and it's not the weight loss. I've been in constant contact with him and his nurse over the last 2 weeks and they aren't sure what's causing the pain but something is so to be safe he wants to go in and look around to see if anything's not right, plus he wants to do another endoscopy. So, three surgeries in 6 months! As much as I don't want to deal with this, I'm glad my surgeon is persistent about finding the problem and making sure I'm OK. I've been put back on soft foods and liquids for the last two weeks and It's extremely frustrating but I signed up for this and all the exciting things that come along with it! As my good friend says WLS is a lifetime, all inclusive package deal!
