Major melt down today

Today I am asking what? what have I done?  I have lost 30 pounds and should be very happy.  Dr. G is going to try a different med instead of getting Domperidorn from Canada.  BUT the is concerned there is an obstruction and I was to have a Barium Swallow done today.  WHAT A JOKE!  I waited in radiology for 1 hour and 35 mins for them to say Mrs. Windsor we do not take your insurance, ONLY if you are in house.  Let me tell you!  I was not pretty at that point.  I am usually a strong person and can tell them how I feel but there came the tears.  I was no more good.  I went back up to Dr. Gandsas office crying like a child, the nurse took me right into the back cause I am telling, there is no way they would want any post-op or pre-op patient to see this nut case.  WOW! what a day.  I am tired and want this whole esaphogase crap to end.  I am sorry but I am just out there today.  I guess the fact that Aunt Flo is here does not help.  So tomorrow at 10am I will be in Swallow hell at a Advasted Rads close to home.  Oh and still no eating for another week.  I am tired of drinking all my meals.  Now Dr. G has me so scared to ever eat.  So for the possitves, I have lost weight, I am going to start back on the reglan and I guess there is worse things that could happen, right?  I will pull out of this.  I was just so up on wanting to get that test done today, tomorrow just pray I can get that crap in me.  I really do love me, I am just pissed with the world today.   Hugs Kristen

Hang in there Kristen!  I know what it is like to hit a bump in the road early on, but Dr. Gandas' practice was wonderful throughout,. Insurance is a pain in the ass by definition. Sometimes we just have to plan on that hassle. But the important thing is that Dr G and his team will get you all straightened out and it will all be worth it! I know that isn't comforting now, but it will be! In 7 or 8 months when you are in clothes half the size of what you started in....Remember in the movie Hook---"Think Happy Thawts"   And I'll say a few prayers that it all works  out soon! Caryn

Big hugs and good wishes are coming your way Kristin. So sorry you've had to go through this. But, you can still see your positive attitude and outlook shining through the frustration, so keep that up. I had my appointment for my upper GI all scheduled, which took 2 weeks, and the day before they called to tell me the same thing, my insurance wasn't accepted, except for inpatient procedures.  So, I had to wait 2 more weeks to go to Advanced Radiology. BUT, I loved the Radiologist that did my study, all the staff at the office I went to were so wonderfully compassionate and helpful. All my rads got done right, and quickly too.. I'm glad you were able to get a fairly quick appointment, and can hopefully get to the bottom of the issue and on to more healing and more losing. Again, some big hugs filled with encouragement are coming your way!
Hugs!

I am not excited about this Barium swallow today and need to get up beat about it.  I have to do this and there is only a little I have to drink.  BLAH  I am nervous cause just Monday I was put to sleep again for the EGD.  All this stuff can work on the nerves.   I wait for the nurse to walk in with this BIG GULP cup and a straw.  Mrs. Windsor please drink all of this, yeah right!  How about no straw and I will have 9 sips and you can have the rest. When things get down I always have to make light of the issues and usually make fun of it to laugh.  Tomorrow I am going to feel better about all of this and the BS will be done and over with. Chat later Hugs Kristen

Hi Kristen, I'm officially joining the others in KNOWING you will get through this. Thinking it made me laugh to wonder what I could come up with to tell the nurse to do with that straw. Oooooooooo !! Hope this made you smile at least a little, you deserve one. Mark, who has sworn to only use his powers for good.
