I AM IN A VENTING MOOD THIS MORNING. BRIEF SUMMARY. I HAD MY GASTRIC BYPASS MARCH 22ND. FROM DAY ONE I HADCOMPLICATIONS. AS OF LATE, ITS BEEN THESE "STRICTURES. I'VE HAD 3 UPPER G.I. EXAMS TWO ENDOSCOPYS GOTTEN MY POUCH EXPANDED TWICE AND I'M SCHEDULED TO HAVE IT DONE AGAIN IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS. I HAVE A CONSTANT. SORE THROAT FROM THE ALWAYS JAMMING A CAMERA DOWN THERE TO "LOOK AROUND". I FEEL WEAK AND JITTERY FROM NOT EATING...MAINLY JUST STAYING DYDRATED WITH FLUIDS. DURING MY MOST RECENT ENDOSCOPY (FRIDAY APRIL 27TH) THEY DISCOVERED I ALSO HAVE AN ULCER. ON TOP OF THAT MY 1ST POST SURGERY MENSTRAL CYCLE IS WORSE THAN EVER! THESE SO CALLED "CRAMPS" FEEL MORE LIKE CONTRACTIONS! (I HAVE 4 CHILDREN SO TRUST ME I'M WELL AWARE OF WHAT CONTRACTIONS FEEL LIKE) SLEEPING IS RARE BC I'M ALWAYS EXPERIENCING SOME SORT OF PAIN AND DISCOMFORT! I AM SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW LIKE SERIOUSLY.

I'm sorry to hear all that! Hopefully your body will be okay soon and will accept the new change it has. Wow I never take for granted that so far (knock on wood) I'm healthy w/o any complications but I don't blame you, I would it be discourage as well. But keep it up! Keep doing the right thing w/in the circumstances. Sending prayers to you, hang in there

I wish you the best of luck and sending many prayers your way. I can only imagine how frustrating as well as uncomfortable this all is for you, but keep thinking positively! It's hard to I know, but in the end it will all be worth it! {HUGS}

Hey Anjela,

Your story is exactly the same as my friend who had her RNY in December. She was back in hospital nearly once a week due to her stoma closing in too tight and them needing to stretch it back out. It took them 3 months to get it right and now she is doing fantastic. The reason he told her the problem was occurring was because she healed too quickly. I know how hard it must be, but don't lose sight. Your menstral cycle will be all over the place whilst you lose weight, so be prepared. Mine went crazy after I had my Lapband. I really hope all these struggles end for you soon

Thanks everyone. It seems to be something new everyday. Now I have pain in my neck and my throat feels tighter and tighter ever day. Tiny sips of water 3-4 times a day is all I can tolerate. I doubt if I drink 8 ounces a day now-a-days. I feel like I'm being punished for healing. I'm sure eventually they'll get it right but the way it feels now I'm wishing I never did it or that they could reverse it.

I'm so sorry for all your troubles!!! Praying that they fix it soon!!!

Say these words out loud "stand ye behind the satin! I will not let you convince me that this was a mistake! I will not let you steal my patience or perseverance! Devil YOU ARE a liar!"

Once you get through the storm there are nothing but rainbows waiting for you Trust and believe that during the roughest of times the Lord still has you covered...

Best wishes hun: )

Thank you Vamp. I saw the surgeon today and he assured me that things will get better. They just need to treat my ulcer and get the stricture to remain opened.

Panda....thank you so much. I did say the words out loud and I decree and declare perfect and complete healing by Jesus' strips! I will stand on his word and promises! Thank you all so much!

You go girl!

Hey dieseluncg68,

I had a dilated pouch and slipped band. My RNY surgery is in 3 weeks.

Take it easy & one step at a time. In the long run it will all go in place.

I feel so bad for you. My sister and I had it a week apart and she ended up with a bleed. She is in icu. It sucks. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
