Don't know how much more I can take

So I been suffering for the last few weeks. I believe I have a stricture but my dr does not deal with them so I was referred to her partner. I was suppose to see him on Tuesday but after sitting in the office for 2 hrs my husband was called to work and I had to reschedule for tomorrow. In the mean time I'm surviving on Water and water alone. Last night I had a bad episode of heartburn so I toke my omeprazole and just laid in bed till I passed out at 3 am. Well around 5 this morning I woke up choking and vomited all over myself and my bed. I was home alone as my husband works third shift. I had a major break down. I ended up having to strip my bed and wash sheets at that time. After that I went into the shower and cried for 30 mins.

I don't know how much more I can take of this. I spent all day today sick and dry heaving. I could barely cook my catering orders ( yes I cook for friends as a side business) and just want to sleep all day. Also my heartburn is back and I just want to dig a hole a disappear. I have lost 60 lbs but at what cost?

I'm getting so depressed and just really don't know how much I can take.

You should NOT be having to deal with this. None of this is normal. And your surgeon/surgeon's office refusing to take care of you- that's unacceptable. You could have aspirated the vomit and ended up in very, very bad shape. You need to make it clear to your surgeon's office that something is VERY wrong and you need to be seen ASAP, like tomorrow. Not next week. And if they don't listen, insist. Go to the ER if you need to.

I have also been having a really horrid time. Stricture has been ruled out so they have changed my meds for stronger anti sickness and anti acid. They have also put me back on liquid Soups and Protein drinks only. This is now day 6 of the new meds and everything seems to have settled, surgery was on November 7th, I now have a endoscopy booked for the January 9th.

All this took place due to the support I was given by my GP, who also put pressure on the bariatric team, have spend nearly 3 weeks out if the last 6 all in hospital.

Keep up the pressure on the doctor who did your surgery, in fact if you can go there in person so they have to help you.

I promise you one thing it does get better, its hard very hard the journey but you will get there. God Bless and I pray that things will be get well for you

That's great news at least you know what has gone wrong, mine was caused by dumping which is now controlled by medications. You are now in the right place, praying for a speedy recovery for you.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
