Grrrrr!!!!!!!
And we strike out AGAIN! Grrrrrr!!!!!
I just got off the phone with Dr. Wittle's nurse (the GI). The CT entro showed mild adhesions without obstruction. She said that it was pretty much normal but that Dr. Wittle hadn't looked at it yet. So..now I'm waiting to find out what is next. He isn't comfortable with the idea of doing the capsule/camera thing on me because of being afraid it'll get stuck. I am getting so frustrated over this!! Surely some test will show what in the heck is wrong!?!?! It is NOT normal for a belly to grow 6-7" through-out the course of a day! I should not be looking like I'm 4 months pregnant at 8 AM and 8 month pregnant at 8 pm!! So now I wait for him to read the results...and wait for him to decide what to do next. I am so tired of waiting!! Oh..I did learn I am their THIRD patient with these same syptoms! Now, how very weird is that????
Sorry.....sometimes even I have to vent.....

I can eat as much as I want...I just don't want much.
I'm ashamed of what I did for a Klondike bar...
They have literally tried every anti-diarheal prescription drug to try to stop the diarhea with absolutely no luck. With Align (the probiotic), I do get a woo-hoo of a BM that isn't total water. But that doesn't last. I'll do good for a few hours and then woosh! But those few hours are better than none.
Needless to say, I've also have had a whole battery of tests over this past year. I am just so frustrated with this. Oh...this is now the THIRD GI to scratch his head over this. I'm hoping he's got some more ideas up his sleeve.

I had my RNY 4 yrs ago. In Sept. 2007, I had a full abdoplasty & thigh lift. 10 days later (10/6/07) I was rushed to the hospital. My intestines quit getting their blood supply. A coma was medically induced. My intestines were pulled outside of my body so they could try to get the blood pumping through them again...which it did. Then they started putting them back into my body over the course of the next 9 days. Then they woke me up. I had a football size opening on my front-left side and a huge hernia on my front-right side. And that is when all my problems began. The doctors have been trying to figure out what is going on every since. Dr. Wittles really believed I think that the test would have been positive for obstructions. Who knows? Mabie it doesn't have to have a full obstruction to affect me this way. Maybe 'minor' adhesions in the wrong places are enough to do it to me....????
What have they told Joe he had?
