HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Nov 25, 2009
Well friends it has been over 11 months since my RNY and today I am thankful to be alive and a lot healthier than I was last year~But I have to share what just recently happened with my friends here. I had a bad experience that happened last Saturday night! I had eaten a really late breakfast and took my meds late( like at 1 ) and I had eaten an unusually large breakfast( 2 pc sausage, 2 eggs, 1 biscuit) I ate the biscuit and sausage while I cooked and then had the eggs and another piece of sausage(which I don't usu sally eat) Anyway, that was about noon and then had lots to drink in the afternoon. Then I had some pudding that was not SF(I thought it was) and started to feel really ill and have diarrhea. My stomach was cramping and I started feeling like my pulse was really low and that I might pass out. I hollered at my DH and when he got in here(I was sitting here at the PC) I was slumped over the computer and when he raised me up I started jerking like I was having a seizure! I lost all my body fluids( I am talking all) and passed out several times! My lips were blue! He put me in the floor and called 911! When the Paramedics got here my BP was at the bottom and they had to stabilize me before they moved me. I was covered in poop and so was the floor. At the ER they ran a cat scan on my head to see IF I had had a stroke and that was OK. They did several EKG's and those were alright and blood work looked ok. They took me off of my meds and my BP came up and they kept me over night and drew the conclusion that I was simply over medicated because I was getting healthier and working out and stuff. But when I went to my doctor on Monday he wants me to see a Neurologist to see if I might have had a TIA. But the cat scan did show negative for that. I am beginning to wonder if I had a major DUMPING SPELL?? Has anyone else had this experience when dumping? The only thing I have ever done that I thought was probably dumping is get really bad gas and diarrhea...I would appreciate any input on this. Doc says no going to the GYM until I get tested and the Neurologist can't even see me until end of Dec! He says to take it easy. He put me back on 20 mg. of Benecar( a BP pill) and took me off of IZMO and Elavil. This was scary guys! I feel that if my DH had not have been here I probably would have died! SO TODAY I AM THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE! I LOVE YOU ALL AND HOPE YOUR DAY IS GREAT! Annette
