Terrible News...Major prayer needed

So, I had a repeat EGD yesterday to check on my ulcer.  I was feeling REALLY good going in...sure that things were healing up and doing well. I was SO WRONG!  I now have TWO ulcers...one of which is HUGE and the other is smaller.  However, the two ulcers take up nearly 3/4 of the anastomosis and the rest of the area is diffusely inflamed and irritated.  Because my H.Pylori studies are negative and because the area is clearly not responding to medical treatment, the GI doc HIGHLY recommends surgical revision of the site. Now, I have not yet called to see Dr. Mo because well, this was yesterday afternoon and I was rather shocked at the news.  So, I will call his office to schedule an appt on Monday.  I am going to continue to take my meds and I'm practically going to ONLY have protein shakes in a total last ditch effort to fix this. Because I was self pay for GBS...my insurance doesn't cover complications and such...so, I would have to pay out of pocket for revision...something I simply cannot afford right now. SO, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE band together and pray for me and these ulcers to GO AWAY...I just cannot believe this! Thanks

Oh Lisa  I'm so saddened to hear this news. You are going on my prayer chain @ church.  On another note, I see your little one has a birthday same day as mine--can he be my valentine?

Awww!  A valentine baby is SO special.  Mine will be six on Valentine's Day...my girl will be four on the 6th and I will be another year older on the 16th!  :-)  We are a February family. And, sadly for you, my Aidan has a permanent Valentine in me!  LOL Thanks for the prayers...they are surely appreciated and needed in a huge way.  

I will keep you in my prayers.... Why wont your insurance cover your ulcer problems? What does it matter how you got the ulcers...you now have them and they should cover it... right???  Insurance companies make me so mad.... I am so sorry that you are having complications. I hope that the meds will finally help! Cath

OH MY Goodness dear !!    for your bad news ! its bound to have been a real shock to you Lisa 'i know if it were me i would have been too! However we do serve a GREAT & MIGHTY GOD!!!      Prayers for you NOW and i too will be putitng you on my prayer chain at church !    God bless & please keep us posted!         BONNY

I hope you fight the insurance on this. Appeal it because the ulcer is a medical issue and they should pay for it. What caused it was an increase in gastric juices if they want to get technical. I pray that you will be well and I pray that your insurance will pay for it. Meanwhile.....please believe that everything will be alright as long as you have your health because the more this upsets you, the more problems with your tummy! Take care and know that people are praying for you. Poetrylover4u

I am so sorry for this news but would wait until you have talked to Dr Mo beore you actually go thinking you may need a revision. He may have some other treatments before he says this is necessary...ulcers are not to be left alone but there may be other treatments available. My thoughts are with you and I wish you all the luck in the world!! Jackie

I am so sorry you are having to deal with all of this!  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Hopefully Dr. Mo will have some good ideas on how to take care of things when you see him next. Best of luck, Cindy

I am so sorry Lisa. Amy and I are praying for you. Joe

Good Sunday am Lisa, You've got a PM. My thoughts & prayers are with you. I can sympathize with what you're going through & know that the Lord is the writer of our lives. We need to give things to Him no matter our good times or bad. I pray that your ulcers begin to heal and disappear, I pray that there isn't more monetary expenses you have to provide, I pray for your health & well being & that of your heart & soul to be healed from all of this & I hope that you feel yourself being lifted up in prayer to the Lord by myself & many others. Thank you very much for sharing your struggles with us. Its something we can all learn from & be of support about as well. Blessings to you  & yours....
