Dearest Emily,

It's been 17 days since the sickness began. I fear the nausea knows no end. I've managed to scrape up one egg to fill my belly this day. It almost didn't keep down, but I force it now. 9 days remain until the surgeon comes around. I've kept this journal so that he may see my ills. Concern strikes me as my average intake drops well below 300 a day, and my Protein halves. I feel tired, weak. But I must persevere, my love. I can't wait to hold you in my arms again, along with a 6oz filet mignon and sauteed mushrooms.

Truly yours,
Captain MC88

My lovely GreenTea,

I've lost all senses and shall be writing my tales in Civil War letters henceforth.

Aight I'm over it.

You need a gastric emptying study to diagnose gastroparesis. Its very uncommon after bypass.

Uncontrolled saliva followed by dry heaving are symptoms of partial blockage

ive had several Lysis surgeries (cutting away scar tissue) and two major re sections due to dense adhesions and scarring. I've had RNY sept 2016

after 8 yrs with band. Band did lots of damage towards the end

now gallbladder stones. Still worth losing 135 lbs See your dr asap

many scarring issues do not show up on film. Good luck. Steve
