My strugglig

So it's been 3 months. 3 weeks after surgery was hospitalized with severe dehydration. A week later I was scoped and dilated. Then we started cts and ultra sounds and on 5/12 we did a gallbladder surgery and he went back in to look at the sleeve to make sure it wasn't twisted which it wasn't. Then a week after a got out of hospital I'm back in for infection and dehydration. I'm still not eating. Drinking about 24 oz of fluid a day and still on liquid diet. Saw doc on Friday and he talking about paralyzed stomach. Feeding tubes into intestines and going to bypass. He now wants me to stop shakes and focus on water only. I drank 5 oz yesterday. 6 oz today. He wants 7 oz tomorrow. I am malnourished hair is falling out and nails are riding up of nail bed. He is no doing b12 shots hoping to help with the malnourishment. Can anyone relate?

I don't know I've been to centers and what it really matters is a doc who can think and not constantly believe that tests are the end all be all of an existence.

I am so terribly sorry that you are having these problems and I know you and your family must be so worried. Are you in the hospital? I know you may not be able to post at times but we genuinely care about you and your situation. Please post when you are up to it and we will be your prayer warriors. God Bless you. Linda

Jem you are in our prayers. I've been there and if there is anything I can help you with ask away. I even took my own bloodwork, etc. so I'm not afraid of doing stuff.
