Complications

Jan 22, 2009

Hi, All, it's been awhile.  I had another tummy tuck in November of '08 covered by insurance again...yayyy Harvard Pilgrim and Dr. Marble in Exeter. 

I am now seeing a Mass General surgeon to help deal with my complications of pain and vomiting which no one in NH seems to be able to figure out.  I am having another surgery soon...an exploratory done at MGH and hopefully she will figure out what is happening.  She thinks it is my gastric remnant.

I am having level 7-10 pain on a regular basis and when that happens, I vomit...no one is treating me for pain...cuz ya know...I must be a drug addict if they do treat me for pain even though there's nothing in my history that shows that would be an issue.

I am losing more weight now...am at 161, only 21 pounds from my original goal weight...and this is the time that people usually gain twenty pounds and level off.  So I guess I could look at that as a positive...maybe I'd have positive things to say if I wasn't so sick all the time.  Sigh.

Do i regret the surgery?  No, i don't.  Because i believe this will be solved and i had a year of no pain...so there must be something there that can be fixed...right?

That's it for now...will try to update soon.
