Repost: Update on ME!!!! Sorry........

Hi everyone.... Well I'm home. I took everyone's advice on Sunday night when I posted about calling my surgeon. I went up to Cleveland (1hr away) and checked into the ER at 10am Monday. Too make a long story short, I was in ER from 10am until 7pm when they decided to admit me. During this time I had blood drawn 2 times and had to get scoped. OH MY. That was an experience. So they stuck the camera down my throat into my pouch and into my intestines. I didn't eat or drink ANYTHING yesterday. They hooked me up to IV's because I was dehydrated AGAIN!!! Had problems finding veins. Of course. They always do. I got to my room at 7:05pm and a huge migraine decided to bless me. OMG it was awful. I haven't experienced one like that in years. This morning I had to have a CAT scan of my belly done. EEEEWWWW I had to drink the YUCKY stuff I had to do it with all my might to keep it down. So basicly, they have found nothing wrong. Dr. Sonpal said that if on Friday I'm still nauseated, they will be putting in a feeding tube in my side. I DON'T THINK SOOO. I will keep everything down!!!!! Also has anyone heard from your surgeon that after surgery your "prego hormone" rises??? I said I'm not prego and he said you don't have to be it the hormone level that rises if you still have your ovaries. OH, did I learn something today. So that may be what is causing me to be nausea/gagging/dry heaving. Anyway sorry for the long post, just wanted to keep everyone updated!!! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for me. Carmella

Carmella~ Don't be sorry for updating us...we asked you to keep us in the loop...remember? I'm so glad you went to the hospital. Wait..that sounded bad. You know what I mean. I hope they figure out how to help you soon so you can put all of this behind you. Hang in there! Julie P.S. Keep us updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Carmella, I just read your profile....you are really going through some battles....I know that sometime whether is be our husbands, sister, brothers, mothers, fathers or even our closes friend....unless they are experience the carrying around our weight or have had to deal with our weight and have already had surgery. They really do not understand our feelings. We are carrying a lot of excess baggage...(that is to say not just physically, but mentally as well). Some of us have never been thin b/c they have been obese their entire childhood. Others it has been a very long since we were thin that attitudes changes, emotions in the way. There are some many different things that from day to day we all experience that unless you are:WALKING A 1/2 MILE IN MY SHOES THEY WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND....I know that most people say a mile in my shoes but our family and friends will never be able to walk a mile in our shoes. Carmilla, you continue to stay strong and hold on to whatever faith you have. Because I know that it is not easy to walk away from a marriage of 10years no matter if it is good or bad....you still have a history with the other person and that can be very hurtful. I know that a lot a stress will cause you to have pain and other reactions. You could truly be getting sick from your "emotional issuses" that you are dealing with. I will add your name to my prayer list and continue to lift you up. I hope that you will continue to be sick and that as you continue to lose weight unstead of loosing a marriage just maybe you all can reunited again b/c you are not the same once that weight is gone. You will never be the same again, things will change just like they did when we became obese. Take care and continue to HOLD ON AND BE STRONG. YOU WILL MAKE IT THROUGH YOU HAVE SPECIAL WORK THINGS OUT JUST FOR YOU. Denise
