o let me explain............
Ok here goes, well i am a transfer patient of this doc i go to,he is not the one that orgianally did my wls,my doc up and left town wheni was 6 mo out. OK so in june i got in so much pain that i went to Dr.Neighbert and he was like take pain meds so i did. Well a week later, i was rushed into surgery for 8 intestinal blockages. So i am fine till late aug.........so i go back because i cant go to the bathroom and i get into pain everytime i eat, so he gives me a ct scan and says im just full of poop,so i do a bowel prep, well im still in pain so i go back the next week and he gives me myralax,so i take it daily. Well i am still having to to get into the fetal position after i eat or lay down. So i go back.........so for the whole mo of oct i see him weekly. I am dropping weight. He says you need to gain back. So i go a muscle provider and still no weight gain and att hat appt he gives me darvocets,well then i still am in pain so i start chasing darvocets with rum. And it did help me sleep, but hubby says that i am making another prob. So this past weekend i get sick sat and have to go get fluids sat night, the er doc called my doc and said send her home and give her darvicets................what the hell!!!! So i come home,well sun i went down and had to go back and i was admitted for severe dehydration,they could not get ivs to stay in, so i had a picc line put in and was feed that way, then i had a scope test and it came back normal, and i had a ct scan and there is a kink in my bowel. So he says there is no way i will do any surgery on you till yo get back to better health,114lbs i am right now, so he sends me home to gain 5lbs and will see me next week,but i am on pure soft food no food that is dense,like from day one. He told me next week that i will have a picc line put in if i dont gain, and this is the big one,i have to have a partial reversal,because he said my old doc bypassed to much,that my body is not absorbing all the nurtients i need.....so i am scared because i was warned by another memeber on the main board that had to have this done because she got down ta 85 lbs,this is more dangerous than the wls...................so thats what has been going on...........gang thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers, im just worried about my faimly,they have been through this with me and now i feel like i am a big problem to them...........i just would have never thought that after a yr i would be sittiing here in worse shape and needing to gain weight.............thanks to all for there prayers.

Sweetie, that is one hell of a ride you have been going on. That is nuts! I have been very concerned about you. I hope to god you gain the 5lbs you need to. Hopefully this semi-reversal will help not hinder the situation.
I know you will be fine. All of us here are thinking about you and crossing our fingers, you will come out just fine.
We Love You!

Vick, I am so sorry that you are going through so much. I am glad that they finally did enough testing to find out what is actually the problem. You will be in my thoughts and prayers! Eat as often as you can so that you'll gain that necessary 5 pounds, let us know when you're next surgery is schedule, and please, please, either you or a friend, keep us posted as to your progress after surgery!
