A vent a call for help but not looking for sympathy or pitty
I am 13.5 months post op and have been having "complications" for a year now. It started last August with vomiting and nauseea and extreme abdominal pain 13 visits to my local ER and they couldn't figure out what was wrong called TWH and was told to get there asap I went was admitted within an hour of being there tests were ordered and still no answers finally with the aide of exploratory surgery found out the cause I had 4 bands of scar tissue causeing a blockage in two spots on my bypassed part of my small intesine. In all of this my got pregnant after battling infertility for ten years. I enjoyed 2 months of being pain free then in December the pain came back in pretty much the same spot lower right side of my abdomen think of where your appendix would be and it raidiates up my entire rigt side of my abdomen and into my rib cage. I spent a week in the hospital while they tried t figure out what to do with me as there was a lot of imaging and tests I couldn't have done while pregnant.had seven ultrasounds while I was in the hospital then an MRI two weeks after i got out. All that was ruled out is it wasn't my appendix
Since they couldn't figure anything out the many doctors I have been too said it will more then likely go away one my son was born. My son is now two months old and the pain has gotten worse to the point that I am now on morphine to control it. The nausea and vomiting have increased all I can seem to tolerate is liquids even full fluids doesn't always sit well. So I am pretty much living on glucerna meal replacements because I can keep those down.
In these last two months I have had another ultrasound a contrast ct and have had one ER visit because my pain was unreal
I have dropped 6 pounds since friday when my team of health care professionals have said to not loe any more weight until they figure out what is wrong with me
I have a referral into a gastrointestional doctor have yet to get my appointment.
About the only thing that has been answered is why I have been having fainting spells turns out my blood pressure bottoms out and my body an not compensate fast enough the solution eat more salt and keep hydrated.
I am just so fed up of constantly feeling sick I am greatful for the good things the surgery has given me such as my son
Is there anyone else out there with anything similar going on? I am not looking or medical advice as I do have a team of doctors looking after me
I am almost wondering if I shuld go back to Toronto and see if they can help me
Same thing I said before. Call Toronto.
