ONE YEAR AGO

I can't believe it has been a year. I have been sick for a year now. Time to step up and get better. Yes I would do it again. I need to gain some back. Lost to much from all the puking. Went to a cancer test last week. It all came back good thank God. I hope now that it has been a year that I will get better. God bless all amy

Amy, I have been reading your posts (and I read your profile, too), and I am really concerned about you. How terrible that you have been sick for a whole year! Both not eating and frequent throwing up are terrible for you, and you said your blood tests showed you are terribly malnourished. What vitamins and supplements are you taking? Do you do the B-12 shots, or take the pills under the tongue? What has your doc done for you, besides prescribing Zelnorm? Has a stricture been definitively ruled out? Were you "scoped" with a camera to look at your stomach pouch and the opening from it? Have you sought a second opinion on your condition from another (perhaps more experienced) surgeon? Your surgeon is listed on OH as having completed only 250 lap RNYs. I wish you the best, and pray that you feel better soon. Franziska 299/171/149

Franziska, Holy freakin crap girl! Is that really you? I had to look twice! You look AMAZING! You're beautiful! I must bow.......... C

Thank you. I really needed to hear that. I am a stick with legs. I never wanted to be like this. I can't stop crying. Thank you so much for caring. I read all your stuff. I wish I felt as good as you. You seem so full of life. God bless. amy

oh my gosh, Franziska, you look fabulous! I hope you are doing well. hugs, Andrea

I take a butt load of vitamins. I have been going to another doctor in charlotte. He is very good and nice. He said I was nothing special to him lol He told me not be be bummed out that he sees lots of people just like me and he will fix me. So I have my hopes up. He has not done to many rny's. But he was the first one on my insurance list that did it and was the only one that could see me right off. A flag should have went up in my head. But all I see that I was going to be skinny by summer. And good god am I skinny. Thanks for caring. God bless. Amy

It has been a hard road for me. I was scoped back in october. The went up the old boody shoot. They have done lots and lots of test. I hope and pray this new doctor will help me. I really trust in him. And with gods help I know I will be better. I got to for my kids. I want to be here to see my grandkids one day. I want to be old so I can see where my tattoos hang. I try so hard to look on the bright side of things. I laugh and try to be happy. But on the inside I feel like I am really falling apart. Thanks for the post. God bless amy

Amy..... I second the comments made above, and wish for your HEALTH.... see your doc... if he/she doesn't help... FIND ANOTHER! take good care.... Lori

I'm so sorry to hear you've been so sick. I agree with the others- find a new doctor! You deserve to feel 100%. Lauren 281/125/130?

I hope your doctors hurry the hell up and find out what's going on with you! I'm concerned about you. It sounds like you are getting medical help and that's all I can tell you to do.
