It's crazy that you're having the numb limbs too. Sooo scary. I'm waiting on lab results now' date=' hoping its just low b12 and not something really bad.[/quote']

Update, I went to see my surgeon and he wants me in on Monday overnight to pop a camera down into my stomach to see what's happening as he suspects the stoma has decreased in size (a stenosis). When this happens, smaller and smaller amounts of regular food can pass through the stomach :-( causing me all these problems. Hope they don't have to open me up again:-(((

Have you had test results back? How are you feeling now? X

I hope you are feeling better and that they found out what was wrong and fixed it. Let us know how you are doing, and best wishes. :)

You're incredibly strong. I know how scary it is when complications happen. Hang in there.

Well, I'm felling much better than I was, still incredibly tired, and agitated but my eating is back to normal but still have no hunger at all and If left to my brain to rule my body rather than my common sense, I wouldn't eat At all, I don't enjoy food at All now. I have always been jealous of people that eat to live rather than live to eat... I got what I wished for, I just need to learn to live with it now. This journey has been tough and I'm sure it will continue to be so, but even with all the things that have happened, I'm still glad I've done it! X
