Rny endoscopic acp
Oct 16, 2021
After numerous appointments, 2 endoscopy and meeting with the new bariatric doctors I was told a few months ago they would do the endoscopic acp... which is they burn around your stoma to make it scar & be smaller so you'll get the feeling of fullness again. I had it done this past Tuesday Oct 12
Easy procedure, it took a little over an hour.. you go home after recovery. Show time was 9am I was on the way home by 1130
I felt like I ate a bag of hot pork skins.. ouch, full liquid diet for 6 weeks.. at that time I go in for another endoscopy and depending on what he sees he may burn it some more... I'll take all the help I can get! I got home that day, my weight was 207
When I did my follow-ups when the weight started creeping back, they said oh your weight gain isn't that much.. I was at 170.. then 181 .. then I kinda said screw this and I ate... and ate.. then up went the blood pressure. I had to start medication for that. Earlier this year I was getting shots in my spine and neck.. then a compression fracture.. had a kyphoplasty for that... found out I have osteopenia, sciatica and arthritis... pretty much it's constant pain daily of varying degrees of which I receive nothing for.
I don't know if I updated much.. in 2018 we lost our home in a flood and remained homeless for 8 months while searching for someplace to live. We had to euthanize 3 of beagles... and find 2 a new home, we were able to keep 2 of our pack.
We finally have our lives mostly on track.. and trying to keep it that way. Now I need to be on track. I feel awful.. between my weight, joints, blood pressure and all this other crap! Ugh
I'm going to try to keep coming on here for inspiration to start this process all over.. feeling like a failure sucks.
