Need MAJOR prayers!

OK last post today......I promise! Ok well some of you know my big long story that IS the history of my life since WLS. It's too long to retype so if you want the details, it's in my profile. I've been out of the hospital a whole MONTH today (miracle of miracles) and I'm no closer to an answer for my complications than I was when I came home. I'm still on mega doses of pain meds. I've actually run out so I have to call my surgeon's office tomorrow. They told me when I went there on the 4th that they weren't going to manage my pain anymore and that I needed to go to a pain clinic. SO......I'm supposed to go on the 24th, but I kinda need more pain meds if I want to eat and drink for the next 8 days between now and then! So I also had a feeding tube (G-tube) removed about 1 1/2 months ago due to infection and the pain had totally gone away but in the past like 2 weeks the pain has come back with a vengence. They told me at my appt on the 4th that there were no signs of infection (like I couldn't figure that out being the genius I am.......lol), but there's still pain there dang it which means........something ain't normal!!!!! SO I said ALL that to say that I need MAJOR MONDO prayers as I call my surgeon's office tomorrow and stay on them like white on rice until I can get all these issues resolved. I'm 10 seconds away from getting surgery reversed and I would REALLY not like to do that. BUT, I want a normal life..........and my life has been ANYTHING but normal since 6 weeks out of WLS. I spent 50 days this summer in the hospital due to all these complications and I would really like not to have to live in such a sterile environment for such long periods of time.......LOL.......meaning..........I want to be NORMAL again! Thanks for everything! Sorry this is so long!! Allie

Hi Allie, I am so glad you posted but so very sorry and concerned you are still experiencing bad issues. I will be thinking good thoughts for you all day and praying for a good outcome today. Any luck with contacting other surgeon(s) for a second or third opinion? Inky

Thanks Inky!! No, I still haven't wrote the stupid letter cuz I have zero motivation! No excuse I know. Hopefully answers will come today. Allie

Allie, I am so sorry you've been going through this. Get motivated! It looks like that's the only way you're going to get anything resolved with this. It kills me that the surgeon is not going to continue your meds, but it sounds like s/he's done all s/he knows to do. At least I HOPE that's the case. I have no answers. But I am praying for you. Keep us posted, please. Marcia P.S. Congrats on your weight loss (previous post), but at what a price!

Thanks Marcia! I'm trying to get motivated. I've called 3 times today. No one is calling me back and I HURT! This has just got to stop!! Allie

You got 'em !!!!!! Shar

Aww thanks Shar! I need em!! Allie

Hey Allie, you look gorgeous in your new avatar! Congratulations on your amazing weight loss! I am so, so sorry that things haven't improved for you. I can certainly understand why you might have to reverse it-two months in the hospital is just awful, and living with constant pain is intolerable. Please don't ever feel like you can't post here because you're feeling down (I'm referring to your previous post). We are here to support you, and we are concerned about you! I appreciate it when you let us know what's going on-I think about you often and am sending you healing vibes as often as possible. Take care Allie, and don't be a stranger.

Awwww thank you!!!........................Gorgeous?? WOW! What a compliment! Yeah, I'm totally at my breaking point right now. Trying to get my mind on something else right now so I don't think about the pain and so I don't think about the fact that I've called my surgeon's office 3 times and haven't heard a word!! My gosh do they think I LIKE being in horrible pain?? I'm about to explode..............or cry!! Allie

Allie, I will continue to pray for you, I hope they give you some more meds. Roz
