Feeling so depressed



Recommended Posts

First off, Im so sorry youre having such a hard time!! Im waiting for approval for my surgery currently and everything you have written about are all things that scare me! I cannot say I understand how you are feeling because I don't yet, but I know you can do it! You've gotten so far already. Also, it totally caught my eye that you had surgery by Dr. Machado....that's who I am having surgery with as well. Its been a long road for me, I have been seeing her since April.

Hi there fellow dr. Machado patient! I have to say I’m a little disappointed with her and the office right now but I’m sure the results vary. My surgery went well. I have been having trouble with drinking Water without it hurting for a bit and telling the office only resulted in them telling me to drink smaller sips. That did not help. Also, the appointment issue is a big deal for me. I now have a phone visit scheduled but they took it out on me, saying that I really have to follow up and I should know that. No kidding! That’s exactly what I was trying to do when I took the day off from work to come in for my scheduled appointment! It’s just frustrating, and then to get told to stay on purées “because people aren’t learning “. Excuse me, but I have followed everything to a T, and they would have known that if I had been able to come in for my appointment. Every day, I make it to 60-80 grams Protein and the 64 ounces of Fluid. Even if I have to force myself, I do it because I know the consequences. It’s just so infuriating to be lumped in with anyone who might not be doing as well only because they couldn’t get me in for the appointment I had scheduled.

      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!!
