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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
