so i started to have some syomtoms of another UTI last firday just that i was peeing more my thought we just incress my fuild. Then i started to have a funny feeling by sunday afternoon i supepect maybe i have a UTI sunday night i became missable. I called the dr frist thing in the morning and they said you have a uroliglist apointment on wed do you think i could wait at frist i said okay but when i started to vomit and i was not keeping water down i knew i was in trubbble i called the dr back and said no i not sure i can wait and they said the frist they could get me in was a 3:20 pm with the nurse parcton for my PCP. I am still on antibotics for my last UTI and she relly had no idea what to do, She tryed to get hold of my uroligsts to figger out what to do, she mentoned the hospital and i said no i relly rather not she wanted to send me home and wait till the next day to see my uroligist i was dizzy and i knew i was deharated and she agreed I explaned to her how banded pepole should not get behind on fuilds and i was so nausas and was now at dry heavs as there was nothing left to come up as i had stoped drinking and was thowing up what i did drink. She agreed to give me IV fuilds two litters latter i was not better and still in the worst pain every this made my lap band seem like a peice of cake it hurt so bad. Finely around 7 she said I am sorry i can not send you home with a clear mind you relly should be in the hospital they can give you fuilds iv nusness meds and pain meds i am calling an amblenes,

 

at the hospital they started askiing about my band, They do alot of gastic bi passes not gastic banding at this hosptial. That why i went with the one i knew did the band and did it well. They said with all the vomiting they were woried about a slip and this is why they hate the band and when it comes to this and they started asking about my sugeron and whated to talk to him they said would you be willing to let us do a revison if something is wrong with the band, They even paged the resdent on call for there barartic program to talk to me about a revison,

 

Well the good news is the band is in pace they did a ct san and saw i had kidney stones and worst a major kideny infection and the dr said you know were admitting you right at this point i was under morphine and did not care about much expect that the morphine was making me feel so much better it was the only way we got though the ct scan other wise i would have never made it,

 

They admitted me and gave me ton of fuilds to help me pass the stone and also get rid of my kindey infection that was the start of this whole thing. They asked me to eat i keeped explaning i am banded and i have lactose intalonince and need mushy food to them this ment ice cream cut cup pan cakes cut up muffins ground pasta each meal got worst. I said i can not eat this stuff I have a band in pluse i was so nausus that it did not matter, Finely they called in the barticitic nutrionist and looked at what they were giving me and said she can't eat any of that she has a band pluse offering a banded person ice cream and cake is like giveing an alcoholic a drink she said what she needs is protiine she probely very tired form lack of it and asked me how i felt i said whiped out draned and just blah. she got everything startened out and she went down to the kichen he self and explaned she needs less food more times a day we need to offer her a snacks with protine in it we also need to make sure she has two protine shakes a day to try and make up some of the lost protine that i had not had in the last 3 days and she also need to have access to water at all time and crystal light so she can meet her fuild recments all the sudden things changed. And best of al my dr said good new we know what you have do you want to go home he frist gave me scips for pill and i said do you know if these can be crushed then he said i don't know i explaned my dr has made a big deal that everything has to be crushed or lquid. He said why would you do this to your self? did you think about how your life would change? he said i never understood why pepole do not deit and exsizes I said you want to know exsizes i at the gym before my sugery 6 days a week one hour each time sometimes two I said i worked with a nurtionist on a deit and the most i lost was

4 1/2 lbs over 6 mounths only to get my peridod every mouth and gain 5. I said i did think about how my life would change how i would never eat a pizza again how i never have a handbuger on a bun how i would not be able to eat or drink toghter how my tast buds would change i said i thought alot about and I hate that question I lost 27 lbs in 4 weeks were before the sugery i stuggled to lose 4 1/2 and if that means crushing pills and takeing lquid form then so be it he gave me some persctions and i was on my way problem is no one had these percptions I got one that can be order tommorow and they were able to be change to something else.

 

Then i find out that Cypro lquid form dose not come genric and it 55 dollors for what would be a 3 dollor perction I am not paying 55 dollors for this I going to make some phone calls to my urolgisest and see if it dose come genric mean while i am sitting with an untreated kindeny infection till i get this mess straitgen out
