They are seeing if the stones moved, passed or what they are doing

. Every time I see the doctor they say I look healthy. He said i look to good to have stones!? I maybe I don't wear the pain on my face. I have been in misery. At one point I thought being dead would be better than to continue to endure the pain. It's bad pain. I do NOT want to die, but the pain it's something else.

I was walking around with my leak. The doctor said there was no way I had a leak. I looked to healthy and I would be going home in an hour. Next thing I was rushed away for surgery.

:( well **** why did they go to med school if they have the ability to just look at someones face and can tell if something's wrong ! Idiot...

Don't mind them you know your body. And I think you have a very high pain tolerance. I would of felt like packing it in with much less!

Hang in there.

Hi!!

Things have been real rough. I had the two stents for six weeks. They were very hard to live with. The pain was unreal and lots of vomiting. I was going to day treatment everyday for five hours to get hydrated' date=' medication and nutrients. I am trying to learn to nourish my body by mouth. I still Go to day treatments, but every other day. I had my PICC line out. Now I have a mid line on place.

I was hospitalized again after the stents because Fluid had collected on my heart. So I was in the cardiac unit for a while. I have never had high blood pressure, but suddenly do.

My body is very sensitive to antibiotics. So I had to meet a infectious disease dr who would have access to strong enough antibiotics to treat the infection from the leak. I took these drugs for two weeks in the hospital and came home on them.

My body is very very weak. It's hard to walk up or down stairs. I keep trying, but my legs feel so heavy and ache. Like on the verge of Charlie horse.

Other stuff has gone on. Last week my surgeon told me I was asking stupid questions. I don't think I can handle anyone who isn't supportive. Kidney function was too low for a while. It's coming back.

I have lost a total of 60 pounds, but when I feel so emotional and crazy these numbers don't matter.

I will be allowed to have puréed foods when I no longer vomit and I can prove that I am able to get in 64 oz of Water a day and 85 g of Protein orally with no help. Not sure when this will be. I try so hard, but don't get too far. I get sick when I consume so its hard to get fluids and protein.

Things are progressing at a slow rate. Some days are better than others. I am really feeling lost and broken. Not sure what to do with myself.

How has your journey been? Did you have a leak?

Best,

Samnah[/quote']

Oh my God!!! I can't believe 1) all you've been through and 2) what a huge b*tch your surgeon must be. I never use that word but I want to find her and yell at her for talking to you like that! Unbelievable.

Honey you are so strong to be surviving this; the pain and frustration and lack of support. You must be an amazing person!

Really?? Did they say they are small enough to pass on their own?

I passed a smaller stone and I think it was two days ago when I thought dying was a good option. They say I can pass them. Take the meds and follow up with the nephrologist. Blah. What a waste of time.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
