i am so sorry i forgot to update, well tgey forgot to call me at 12:30, so i called them later that day and tbey had a lady call me and make an actual appointment with a doctor Apell Next week. I am so much more excited to actually see and speak to someone but it is still like an interview. So still sitting at the edge of my seat just praying for the best. thank you for asking. oh here are some new photos i took yesterday. for some reason i started to have better day till yesterday, my ex hit me with more court papers so the acid has started up again really bad, trying to control so the ulcers don't come back.

this is also a photo of my Hiatal Hernia, they said the white bubbles is acid.

What a shame you are having all these issues. Your weight loss and physique are admirable but I can see in your face the pain and sadness you are in. I sure hope the new doctor can sort this out for you. Have you found anyone else on the forum or by googling who is having similar symptoms after the Wls surgery? Please keep us posted. Try and think positive thoughts about a solution in store for you really soon.

i had the RNY. I wasn't heavy enough for the WLS. I heard the WLS is a lot better than the RNY for absorbing nutrients.

I have been reading your story and am so sorry you are experiencing difficulties. I pray you get the care and treatment you need. You and your family are in my prayers.

By WLS do you mean the sleeve? WLS is the general acronym we use for weigh loss surgery.

I too am having many of the same problems as you although I did not have the surgery specifically fir weight loss but rather due to a large hiatal hernia that the surgeon felt would best be repaired by the gastric bypass. I am now 6 months out and have lost 74 pounds at last check over a month ago. I feel like a bag of bones....they actually hurt inside of me at times when grand babies climb on me etc. I bruise like none other..but my labs at last check were good. Don't know about Protein but it sounds like you get more in then I can. I struggle so much with the drink...don't drink thing. Of course...that causes problems sometimes. I'm at a loss and get so scared and shaky weak sometimes that I just lay and cry. I do have a question fir you though. Looking at your pictures is like looking at myself except fir your first and the bloating one. My question is...how did you rid yourself of the extra skin? I have it mostly on my arms but some on my hips and legs too. You look as though you have none!

I hope that somewhere along the line there are answers for us. I keep thinking a year is gonna be my turning point and then I read if those out two years or more and my heart sinks! My husband and kids are all worried about me and quite frankly...I am worried about myself!

Hey Crissy!

Looking forward to an update on how things are going.

I saw Dubs note about the pain Patches. In your weakened condition be very careful about prescriptions. Instead of helping they can cause great damage. Hope you have gotten a great Doctor by now who is this out.

Best Wishes!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
