I am so sick now. I wish I would have never had gastric bypass surgery. Some days I just pray that I can still walk. I miss playing with my little 3 year old boy. It hurts to hold my 4 month old baby in my arms. Some days I think if I died it might be a blessing. The pain is just so horrible. I miss working in my salon. My clients are very special friends and I miss them. It stinks to be practically crippled like this. It is hard for our family to now survive on one income since I can't work. Also I am self employeed so I have no workers comp or unemployment help. Now that I am so ill the great folks at Kaiser have finally started to take some action to help me. I am seeing a rhematoidologist(sp?) and have an appointment to see a gastrologist FINALLY! Guess they are afraid my family will sue if I do die or something. I have been asking for a referral for years. I am getting iron infusions through IV. I probably have fibromyalgia according to my doctor. He said 33% of WLS patients that have had a surgery that makes you malabsorb get autoimmune diseases. Guess I am part of that group, lucky me. Please keep me in your prayers everyone that reads this.

I am so excited. The rotten GP I had at Kaiser went on unexpected leave and I was given a new GP. She drastically increased my iron supplements to 325 mg 4 times a day. Yeahhhhh!!!! My iron level is now a little high...lol. I am feeling so much better. I have cut back on the iron now. It is great news because I am expecting baby number 2 in April. 

After giving birth my plans are to try to have my surgery revised. I am still 40 pounds over weight. I am trying so hard to lose it. I know something is not right. I think I am going to try to self pay. It seems like the only solution. I am very interested in the lap band procedure.
