I went to my pcp this afternoon and she looked at the hernia. She said to get a hold of the wls doctor right away and not to wait. She told me that if I wait to long it will become a life threatening situation. I went through that with my mom and I don't want to have to go through what she did. She almost died.  I needed to see him before the first half of March. I called his office and the soonest that she could get me in is February 19th at 5:00 p.m. She did tell me that if it got worse to either go right to the hospital or to call the office right away. So I am going to wait but if I have another terrible night like last night I am not going to wait.

See......I do learn my lessons......it might take a bit of time but I learn. Thanks for all the concern. I know that I can always depend on my OFF family.

Brenda, after going through a small bowel obstruction along with a hernia, I don't think you should try to wait it out until the 19th.  Listen to your body and you'll know what's best to do.

Gentle hugs to you

Susan

Brenda....Oh my Goodness Girl.....I agree with Susan and Gail. The 19th is a long ways off.  Please don't wait around.  You are a very special lady and I don't want to see something horrible happen to you.  You sound like you've endured quite a bit of pain and your body is trying to tell you something.

Anxious and Worried,

Sandy
