Having some probs
Apr 21, 2010
WELL.I HAD TO HAVE AN ENDOSCOPY IN MARCH LAST MONTH AND IT SHOWED THAT I HAVE A LOOSE STAPLE AND A FISTULA--ALSO THE DOC TOOK OUT A FEW SMALL POLYPS THAT WERE FOUND IN MY POUCH AND THEY WERE BOPSIED AND CAME BACK CLEAN.. I HAVE GAINED A FEW POUNDS SO I AM SCHEDULED TO SEE THE GASTRO SURGEON IN DANVILLE PA TO SEE IF HE IS GONNA DO A REVISION OR A REPAIR OR WHAT--MY POUCH IS STRETCHED A LITTLE BIT.. I HAVE LOST OVER 200 LBS AND NOW I AM BEARLY HOLDING ON TO A 200 LBS LOSS--I STILL HAVE ABOUT 50 LBS TO LOSE TO MY GOAL--MY RNY WAS OVER 3 YRS AGO AND I WAS DOING SO WELL AND BOOM--EVERYTHING IS CRAZY.. I AM WORRIED THAT THE LOOSE STAPLE IS GONNA COME OUT AND CAUSE PROBS--THE FISTULA --WELL THEY ARE NOT TELLING ME MUCH ABOUT THAT--BUT HERE ON OH I HAVE READ ABOUT A REVISION AND IT SAYS THAT A FISTULA IS A COMPLICATION OF WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY--SO I AM PREPARING MYSELF TO GO THRU THIS ALL AGAIN--I NEVER WANT TO BE 448 LBS AGAIN.. BUT IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE GASTRO SURGEON DR STRODEL SAYS AND IF MY INSURANCE WILL PAY-- I HAVE A DIFFERENT INSUR NOW THEN I DID BACK IN 2007.. I HAVE GEISINGER HMO AND MEDICARE IS MY SECONDARY INSUR--SO I WILL SEE ON MAY 5th WHAT HAPPENS.. I AM NERVOUS AND TRYING NOT TO BE DEPRESSED.. I AM STILL ON INSULIN AND STILL HAVE A BMI OVER 35 AND HBP AND OTHER CO-MORBIDITIES.. I JUST DO NOT WANT TO END UP HAVING EMERGENCY SURGERY IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH THIS STAPLE OR FISTULA..
THANKS FOR READING THIS AND I PRAY THAT WHEREVER YOU ARE IN YOUR JOURNEY THAT YOU ARE DOING GREAT !
BLESSINGS TO YOU
