Hello All.
I am happy to say that I made it through my 6/26/ surgery without complication. Well I had a slight one...it seems I was allergic to my pain medication, Demerol (?). That caused 2 days of dry heaves which I thought was going to kill me!!
Not two seconds after the day after barium testing I started again...you know, color drains from your face, cold sweats and then the excruciating abdominal contractions. I told Dr. R I was feeling poorly and he asked the RN to change my meds but "she forgot" so the torture continued another day. Talk about "buyers remorse."
Dr. R finally realized the nurse had not followed his direction which infuriated him!
He couldn't apologies enough to me. With that said I am safe and sound in my own home on a different med (which I don't seem to need as often). My kids have been a god sent and my family continues to check in and send flowers.
I am so thankful for everyone that has kept in touch with me during this process from start to finish from the CT forum. Kathy has really helped me these last few days when I was in such misery. Thanks Kathy and everyone else who has freely shared their wisdom, hope and strength here. You have all enriched my life and I look forward to the times ahead.
Respectfully,
Mimi

Today was a good day!
The sun was finally shining 
and when I weighed myself this morning I was no longer overweight! I am finally normal or at least my BMI is!
Went shopping for shorts and actually fit into a pair of size 6. What a nice feeling.
It has been a long 16 months and I realize I have a lifetime ahead of me, but I just wanted to thank all that have been supportive during this journey.

Topic: RE: Dr Robert Bell -- experiences? Really struggling to make a decision (long)
Just chiming in with another love story about Dr. Bell. I believe things happen for a reason. I almost went thru St. Raphaels, but they didn't take my insurance, so I went to Dr. Bell. I have been thrilled. No complications, great support group, great aftercare. I would not have gotten better care anywhere else. Please email anytime. Diane.
