I wish sometimes I had never had this surgery. I am 10 months out and 8 of the 10 have been aweful. I have had severe nausea all of the 8 months, finally went and had a scope June 30th and was told I have mild acid reflux now. MILD my ass, it's more sever than mild I think. I stay so sick all the time, if I'm not nausious, I'm in the bathroom dry heaving. I CAN'T live like this. I go back to the gastrologist Wednesday and HE HAS GOT TO DO SOMETHING else other than the 1 protonix a day, which seems to NOT be helping at all. It has gotten worse the last 5-7 days/nights. I'm usually in the bathroom every night heaving because of this and my stomach is soooooo sore. To top it off, I had an all day nausea/ heaving session Saturday and not even phentagrin (sp) relieved it. I just feel this is never going to end and this is how the rest of my life is going to be and I CAN'T DEAL WITH IT. I know I'm off all meds and am down 96 pounds, but I really wonder if it was/is all worth it now , sorry just had to vent. Melissa

Keep your head up! This too shall pass. Let's just hope and pray that your doctor can find a way to relieve all your pain and discomfort. You'll be in my prayers. Take care! And venting is allowed ALL THE TIME!!! Take care! Keke

Thanks Keke, I went to the Dr. today and the Dr. seems to think it's possible I may have a kink in my small intestines. I am having a lower GI done to see if that's whats going on. They will call me in a few days to schedule that. He told me to come off my multivitamin, etc. til we see what the problem is. I am to go back on miralax at night, plus 2 ducolax in the a.m............1 protonix in the a.m., 1 in the p.m., and take my zyrtec by 7 p.m. He wasn't to happy about me taking the lower bowel herb LB-X as he said he didn't know what was in it. Oh he also said that I have VERY LITTLE stomach acid so that shouldn't be whats causing me to stay so sick, we'll see what the lower GI shows when it's scheduled. I'll let everyone know. Melissa

Hugs, Melissa! It is miserable to be constantly sick. I feel for you! Praying that your surgeon discovers the reason and they get you back on your feet soon! Peggy B.
