Thanks for listening everyone.

Hello everyone, thanks for all your concerns and information. I had my Upper GI this morning. Mechanically everything looks perferctly fine. The Radiologist will get some measurements for me so I can send them to the Dr. The Radiologist said the stomach will stretch, this I know, but you would think that I would have had some kind of pain or discomfort, which I didnt. As soon as I get the results to Dr Almanzas office I will not know what the outcome will be. Please say a prayer for me. Oh by the way, that was the first time I tried to eat any bread. Thanks Tabitha

:crying: I am very worried because last week I was able to eat a whole sandwich made at home. I didnt even realize it till I had eaten the whole thing, I didnt have any problems eating it like pain or discomfort. I have only been out of surgey for 2 months. I talked to Shirley and she said she is only able to eat about half of a sandwich along with her husband. Im getting more and more depressed about this. I do not want to have another surgey to correct this if there is a problem, which I think there is a problem. I have been feeling like something hasnt been right since shortly after I had surgey. I still have that "hunger" pains not really pain but I do get hungry, I was told after my stomach healed that I would no longer have hunger. I'm just feeling why why why...why wasnt it done right the first time? Either way something is wrong with my stomach bc I am only suppose to hold 4-5 ounces. I have been able to hold more than that. Dr. Almanza's staff wants me to come back to Mexico to have an Upper GI test done. I dont want to go to Mexico again, I will ask one of the Drs I work with to order the UGI. Its just that why wasnt this done correctly the first time? I put all my faith and money into this surgery and I'm having problems now. I know that I'm sitting her being "poor me" its just that I do not have the money or time off from work to go back to Mexico to have this corrected. If the UGI does show my stomach is to big well then I will have to go back to have Dr. Almanza to correct it. Has anyone else had this problem? Please help and give me some encouragement. Tabitha
