I would like to thank all of you who have lent me your thoughts and prayers.

On Monday I had an Upper Endoscopy and they did find a stricture and dilated. As of Wednesday this week I have started feeling better. I do still have the chronic nausea but it is not as severe by all means.

Instead of a dead dog I feel human again. I have been getting out and able to move around since I have felt better. They may still have to go back in one or two more times and I am ok with that.

I will say that I was very upset when I came out and they told me I had a stricture. Not because I had a stricture, but because I kept telling them I had a stricture and they wouldn't listen to me and just do the endoscopy. Instead I had to keep being admitted to the hospital.

I did see my surgeon yesterday, who is the Medical Director of the practice and voiced this with him.

I am at a stand still with my weight loss and I am fine with that. It is much more important for me to be healthy and feeling better. I could not eat and could barely drink and things were very bad for me. The weight loss will come.

Today I am wearing a dress I have not been able to wear in 2 years, so that is neat. I don't even like dresses but I like this dress today! =)

Thank you again everyone. I just wanted to post about something good for once!

I was thinking about you the other day and I am so relieved that you are doing better!! You should be really proud of yourself for staying so strong through this experience. Nice work!

Are you still in the hospital or will you be able to recover at home?

Aww, Thank you. I am at home now. I had the endoscopy done outpatient on Monday..

I am so happy to hear that you are finally feeling better! It's a shame you had to go through so much before they would listen to you.

And congrats on that wearing that dress. I totally get loving that dress!

Yay! So glad to hear that you're feeling better finally!

Yep. I am feeling so much better but I am still with the nausea, so hopefully that will go away soon. Thank you!

Glad to hear that you're feeling better. I don't like dresses either but I can't wait until I'm ready to wear a dress and look darn good in it. Take care!
