Just when i think..........
Just when i think im doing better BAMM!!! I got sick at church sun night. I had a bite of meat out of lasanga and after that it went down hill. I came home foaming.So the next morning i am still sick i can't eat or drink. So i call doc and they say drink some meat tend in a glass of water. Well that didn't work,so hot tea.......nope still sick. I have completely lost my voice.My throat is raw,i go to the doc at 3 today.I am having such a hard time breathing and eating my chest hurts and my back. I have no one that understands me at all. My husbands aunt had wls and she is always there for me.But everytime i say something my family says WELL WAS IT WORTH IT TO BE SKINNY!!! I am sick and this time it might not be because of wls,but anyways keep me in your thoughts today.......

Vickie,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how you feel. I had my 4th surgery in 10 months almost 2 weeks ago and feel worse than I did before I had surgery. The pain is worse, I am so nausea that I can't eat or drink again and when I do, I puke it back up. I have called my surgeon 3 times since last Tuesday and no response. I even emailed him and no response. I finally called my pcp and saw him yesterday, but he couldn't help much because he doesn't know about bariatrics, but at least I got some pain meds. Well duh!!!! There have been times that I wonder if losing all this weight is worth it. I know it is, but I am so tired of feeling crummy and people not understanding. At least when I was over 300 pounds, I might not have been very healthy, but I didn't feel that bad and now 150 pounds lighter, I feel like death warmed over all the time. I am not one to complain, but I know my body and when something is not right. The standard answer I get is to go to the ER, but when I do, the docs in the ER don't want to touch a WLS patient. They call the surgeon and the next thing I know they admit me and start another PICC line because I have no veins left. I know it is hard, but keep your head up and things will get better. Let me know what the doc says. Good luck and take care,

Hi Ange.........I am home. I went to lex to Dr.neighbert for help with food backing up in my throat and this is what he said.............I AM NOT A DOC I AM A SURGEON. Point blank, i thought he could help me because it has been 2 weeks since i have had any solid food. I do soft or pureed. He told me to go to my family doc and to keep drinking supplements to live on,plus he said i looked sick........YA THINK!!! Well i went to my doc and he told me i had severe reflux and he gave me meds.Dr.Neighbert told me that we do not make gastric juices and that i coulndnt have reflux..........oh well i guess i will live on LORITABS,BOOST,AND BABYFOOD. I just dont no what to do anymore. But you take care and i will keep up when i can lol..........
