Last Saturday was not feeling well, Miralax seemed not to be working well, took Ducolax Friday night, said relief 1/2 to 6 hours , the 6 hours came and went ,2 hours I gave up and went to bed. Next morning a just a little 💩, did not feel like I was emptying out. So early afternoon , went to local hospital, figured a Milk and Molasses enema, been a month since I was there. Doctor on duty wanted an abdominal Cat Scan and some other testing.,Turns out I had ileitis, more pockets of gas than stool, and so they said let your doctor the first of the week. We think,you're pretty okay. Finally after 15 hours the darned Ducolax finally worked. At least I am not now under as much abdominal distress. My question is:
D9es this mean I might be developing Chrones or IBS? Everybody and their Aunt seems to be dropping meds, am I just developing thines as I heal? Already found out I have renal cysts, thyroid nodules, a heart murmer that's pretty mild, low Iron levels, IBS would be just the icing,on one of those cupcakes I no longer can eat! And,oh yeah, every night when I get tired, I get double vision, all I can do to type-text when I'm seeing you lines of letters and numbers. Let me know what you guys think, going to bed while I can still make out the bedroom doorway. TaTa my Bari- friends!👈😞👉

Get Well Soon and research the connection between the conditions (if there is one) with the help of your primary doctor. They may send you to a specialist.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
