Back In The Hospital

I was admitted again last night- for pain and severe dehydration :(.

I want to love my sleeve. I want to work this wonderful tool- but I've been through 2 weeks of hell on earth and I'm trying desperately not to regret making such a selfish choice.

Hey guys- horrible pain in my back and chest for 3 days. So bad I could only get in about 10oz of Fluid each day.

By the time I got to the ER I was barely aware of anything anyone was saying. They pumped me full of fluids and electrolytes and sent me for chest X-rays and another upper GI. The radiologist believes that my sleeve has spun around on itself. I'm being taken in later today or tomorrow for an endoscopy and if it really is twisted I will probably need opened back up.

oh my goodnesss!!!! i never knew something like that was even possible!!!! im praying for u!

Oh my! I'll be praying for you! Please keep us posted!

Oh no, so sorry to hear you are having problems!! Keeping you in my prayers for good news and healing.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I didn't even know that was possible. Please keep us posted.

You're in my prayers. God Bless...

Thank you all!

I was supposed to get an endoscopy yesterday, and then again today- but now they are telling me tomorrow. Because of my new anatomy nobody will scope me for legal reasons. Tomorrow the hospital is bringing in a specialist from a few hours away who does complex cases of post-WLS routinely. The wait has been agonizing but I'm relieved they are bringing in the best of the best. I was so afraid of some novice jamming a tube down there and killing me:(

Glad to hear that, I had been wondering what was going on with you. I put out an APB on you early this morning......Praying that everything is ok....

oh no no no no no no no no no!!! no negative thoughts like that. youre NOT going to die! this is a MOUNTAIN in your road that you need to strap yourself in and put on some damn comfortable sneakers and start climbing but YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!!! i never thought id get thru mine but i did!!!!

im prayin for u.
