I'm scared. ..

But I just wanna feel normal. And throwing up bile continuously and struggling to drink anything isn't helping. I want to be able to have a normal adaptable life. This is sucking everything out of me. Literally

Oh ya called them. They reverted me back to liquid phase diet. As if that makes me feel any better about this dam surgery. Just sick of stomach hunger' date=' headache, nausea, starving my body BC I can't have anything basically!

At least I had freedom before. Now I have nothing. Except bottle Water. S f popsicles, two teaspoons of yogurt!

Yay. 4 weeks and I feel like ****![/quote']

You are not alone......I'm going they the exact thing. I too is about 4 weeks out. I'm so sick of the Protein drinks. They all taste like crap. I do get my chewable Vitamins in with no problem. I also can drink water okay. Everything else takes a minute if at all. Although I'm looking forward to the end results, I too do not feel that great about this surgery.

Will be in e r tmr' date=' getting upper g i scan and see where my blockage is....

And then a scope. Hopefully I'll be better....[/quote']

Wondering how you are today?

Well my e r wouldn't help me. They refused. Actually the doctor made it clear that I was there for no reason at all. I needed to go through my PCP. So I called my pcp and she agreed its an emergency. There something wrong. Terrible.

I had an upper endoscopy done yesterday and it was a stricture. I did not require a stent. They dilated my esophagus and hopefully that does the trick. I was going through the exact same thing. You should contact your surgeon not your PCP. He did the surgery and will fix the stricture.

I agree with this.. ^

I'm not surprised by what happened in the ER, they are there to deal with an emergency and stabilize you enough to follow through with your PCP or in this case surgeon.

Please do call your surgeon he or she will know what to do!

Can you have your PCP set up up with a doctor to do a scope? You need a doctor Like a Gastroenterologist.

No she didn't wanna order it. She didn't feel comfortable ordering it. ;+(

What is there for her not to feel comfortable with? Do you mean a scope at the ER?

Why can't she refer you to a Gastroenterologist?

If she thinks there is a problem what is there not to feel comfortable with, by just referring?

There's something wrong with your doctor then because that is ridiculous..you are in great distress, her job is to help you. If you have insurance, call them and ask for the information of a GI specialist and call their office right away, explain the situation and hopefully they can help. Or at least ask your surgeon to refer you to someone.

This is your surgeon that won't refer you?

never mind, I re read it. I would be switching pcp's That's ridiculous, I hope you get some help and relief soon!
