keekes1014 reacted to Angie's_Ocean in Crohn's Disease Problems - Fat Crohnie
Hi guys! Ulcerative colitis here. I went to Mexico in October and had a full bypass not a mini bypass. I’ve only dumped once since then, and if anything I was used to it from all the years of flareups. Everyone is super scared of dumping syndrome; just routine for us! Lol.
I was initially scared of what the bypass would do to my large intestine and how my system would react but If anything now I find I can tolerate seeds and vegetables much better than before, and I don’t have to wait for the weekend to eat them just to make sure I don’t get sick while at work. I’m so happy I made this decision and went through with it, my life is 100% better because of this!

I called the doctors office and left a message through the answering service. The on call dr called me back. He is going to try to direct admit me tomorrow. He said I probably need the upper GI done and will see about putting a camera in to see what is going on.

Ok, I think this last line is the most important. Keep that at the top of your mind when you go in next week - hopefully sooner!!! Because the fact that you've already been in the hospital for dehydration makes me even more concerned. Just and FYI, you can skip your surgeon's office completely and just go to the ER. You could be having a gallbladder attack as we speak and they would probably be much more concerned and perform tests right there. I have some serious doubts about the quality of your surgeon based on what you are telling me he's conveyed to you. You've already been in the hospital for dehydration and he's not more concerned????!! I'm still stunned at that.

What you are experiencing is not normal or acceptable. Demand that your doctor do appropriate diagnostics and take active steps to resolve the issues, or find someone else who will actually help you. I am so sorry you're experiencing this.

I was referencing her Yoga for back pain video, but I have several others and they are all good. Yoga for the rest of us is also nice. I bought mine used off Amazon after watching the PBS specials. what I like is that there is nothing crazy - nothing intimidating. She always has three people doing the stretches, one easy or modified, one regular and one advanced. so you always feel like you can fit in somewhere with what she is doing, and she is so gentle in her speaking and guiding.
