Third time since November ... I am not sure how many more bumps in the road I can take . November 14th was surgery, five days later was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism and was back in the hospital for three more days... And now I am back since yesterday afternoon when I was rushed to the ER from work. I am hopefully having my gallbladder taken out in the morning but will have to wait on my blood work to come back because I am on blood thinners they can not do it right away. I will say though that I am in good hands with the Mercy team and Dr. Roller just sucks that I have to do it! Prayers would greatly be accepted ... I'm a bit nervous :/. Thank u all for being great supporters

I know how you feel!! Surgery eas 10/29/12. 2 weeks post op had to go to hospital overnight for observance and fluids thought I had a small bleed. A week and half later developed a stricture. A week later hospital for IV fluids. Christmas back in for 5 days for another stricture and gallbladder removal. Wednesday this week back to ER pain and severe nausea. Found fluid in abdomen where gallbladder use to be maybe bile leak won't know till I go to surgeon in Tuesday and also am developing another stricture need to take a pain pill but scared it will make me sicker. But you know what! Eve ln after all this I would do it all over again. 64 pounds total lost and in 16's and some 14's and some 12-14 tops

Oh and sorry I do hope you get better soon and can fix the issues once and for all.

Hope you both feel better soon

Thanks sky!!

prayers coming your way. Just makes you want to slap anybody that says this is "the easy way out"

Dr. Roller has been great through all this .... Just has been a bumpy road.

I'm in Fort Smith. I have another post op next week.

Dr. Roller has been great through all this .... Just has been a bumpy road.

I had my post op. but he seems to be to fast to me, he is nice but doesn't seem to take much time with the patients.

Don't get me wrong I like him but he didn't even exam me at post op. kinda weird gues he is just that busy .

I agree. He is too fast and he didn't take time to really listen to the complications I was having. I prefer his wife.
