Journey

I had sleeve surgery June 26. I've been to the er or been admitted to the hospital.

First visit - Get sleeved

Week after pain. My pancreas, gallbladder, ans liver.

The next week shortness of breath. I had to get a blood transfusion.

All the other visits can't keep anything down. Er your levels are high. All we can do is give you meds.

My surgery doctor give me gallbladder meds.

He got all the reports from er visit. All er visits said my gallbladder needs to come out.

I don't regret getting the surgery. Things happen. My doctor wanted to avoid another surgery first. He thought the meds would help. After so long now....im just saying. Lets try something else.He's a cool doctor. We sat down and talked. He said he wants to get me better. We are moving forward. I had to share. Because its so important to trust God and yourself. I could have passed out with my low blood. I was told I was dehydrated ... When the er ran test my blood levels like below 7 really low. I needed blood right away. If I walked I was out of breath. My heart was pumping hard. It took me 45 mins to get ready.

You can always pay those extra hospital bills 5 dollars a month. Trust me they will work with you.

Sorry for errors on iv pain meds.

Don't give up. Listen to your body. Fight for yourself. My husband fought for me too.

Thanks for all the kind words. I have a upper gi test done in the morning.
