    dexter got a reaction from LouLouM in Complications 8 years out and depressed!   
    I had my sleeve 8 years ago and have been battling severe GERD for two years and serious weight gain since my hysterectomy just last December.
    Now, I am miserable and weak. 10-20 tums a day, unable to properly take my medications because I throw them up. Cannot eat because I throw it all up too. Just ordered some syntax iced tea and Protein Soups. I’m taking 80mg protonix daily and wake up choking on my bile bile at night.
    My PCP dismissed me. Saw her PA and at no time did she even look down my throat.
    Got a referral to a GI and they called to have a consult in a month! A consult! Only!
    Called my old bariatric surgeon and he’s not in my insurance network and I can’t afford him. Called one in town and have an appointment on the 9th. But if it requires a revision, I don’t know if it’s covered on my insurance.
    I’m losing hope. I feel like everyone else has since I’ve been dismissed at every turn.
    My brain is fuzzy, my eyes are sunken. Work is hard. I pretend I’m fine and eat at company meetings then go quietly to the bathroom to throw everything up. I’m miserable.
    I need an answer but no medical professionals seem to be in a hurry.

    dexter got a reaction from Tomo in Revision from sleeve to Rny bc of gerd   
    Those who’ve had revisions- how did you get your doctor to do something? How did you convey the urgency without sounding like a hypochondriac? It’s gotten so very bad and I’ve been begging someone to listen for two months now. I can’t keep going like this.

    dexter got a reaction from ellie123 in What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"   
    Hurting a lot and listening to my knees sounding like rice krispies every time I sat down.
    That and going to the drive in movies and feeling the camping chair slowly bend closer to the ground until it wouldn't close up any more.
    We wanted to go to Six Flags before school starts but I got so depressed thinking about walking, riding and just sitting while everyone had fun, we decided to cancel. And that depressed me even more. We cancelled a mini vacation because of my weight.
    Been toying with the idea of WLS, but I just got sick and tired of being sick and tired, you know?
