Looking for ideas



Recommended Posts

I'm 13 weeks post op and have have about everything that could go wrong go wrong. Last dilitation on my stricture was a real good one, put me down for a week. But it is open now but still can't get fluids down enough and food has been a painful joke. In the 13 weeks since surgery I'm guessing I've had a 100 grams of Protein maybe. I've lost 115 lbs and am weak. Any professional advice like should I have a feeding tube? Or something else. Disability don't pay my bills and need to get back to work! Thanks for any input.

I'm pre op so I don't have any advice for you. But I will pray for you. That sounds like torture. I can't even imagine how weak you must feel. I definitely would get in to see my dr. Please keep us informed.

Wow I think you're way beyond the advice that can come from an internet board. I hope you have medical professionals advising you heavily. Thoughts and prayers are with you!

Well my surgeon does not seem concerned so this Tuesday I meet with an internist to start getting stuff right. Just had a doc that thought I was needing coddling all the time and was really arrogant towards it so let's hope this is it because I haven't eaten in almost two weeks and he's not concerned!

      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!!
