He said the word
Revision. His words were:
I think you are going to need a revision
;-(
I'm not ready for that yet. I'm trying so hard to gain. I sent him my food diary and told him of my concerns about my diarrhea. Apparently I'm doing what I should be. I guess I need to call and talk to him on the phone, not just e-mail. I think he was on his Blackberry and responded in few words. He's known for that.
Anyway, I want to work on the diarrhea problem more. I'm going to make an appt. with my PCP to discuss what else I might be able to try. I'm just not convinced that this is a result of my surgery. I want to talk to her about that Habba syndrome too. If trying a cholesterol pill could get this diarrhea to stop, I maybe could put some weight on.
I also have an appt. with my pastor who married us, for an energy healing session. I don't know if it will work, but she has used this balancing ritual every day and she has stayed within 5 pounds of her "intended" weight for 8 years without dieting or following a rigid plan. I suppose it can't hurt. She is going to balance my thyroid or something. I've never done this, but I'm getting desparate and will try anything before they cut me open again to put stuff back together.
Oh, and to top it off, I would have to pay again. $17,000. I don't have that much left on my home equity line of credit, so if it gets really bad and I need this surgery, I may not be able to even have it. I wonder if I will have to take a second job. My husband is definitely going to need to get a better paying job.
I'm nervous. Sad, shocked and in denial all at once. I need to look out for my health. I feel that all my levels are pretty good, and I'm not malnourished. Just thin. I was 107 this morning. And this afternoon, I was up to almost 111. That should put me about 108 tomorrow morrning.
If you are inclined to pray, I would ask for prayers of healing and weight gain/stabilization so I can avoid revision surgery. Or just send me some good vibes. Thank you for all of you who have kept me in your prayers. I appreciate it so much.
Kim,
I am so sorry that you are going though this. You have been under a massive amount of stress lately and I am hoping that is what is keeping your weight going like this. By that I mean, when you are able to get rid of some stress, I am hoping that the weight loss will stop and you may be able to gain.
Also, have you told your surgeon that you just don't have the money for a revision. He may be able to help you avoid it (somehow) or assist in getting the insurance to cover something. I have worked in insurance for many years and even if things are excluded from coverage, extreme cir****tances can affect an insurance companies decision.
Have you tried cutting down the protein? That seem's to help calm my weight loss.
Anyway, saying prayers for you and sending weight gain vibes your way.
Hugs

Oh Boy Kim - I know that THIS IS THE LAST thing you dreamed would happen!!! I know that you DO NOT WANT a revision. But if it means your health - you have to do it!!! Your family needs you girl!
Don't keep pushing it to the back burner and risking your health - Be Smart and do your research and DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!
We are praying for you and here for you allllll the way!
HUGS,

Kim, you are in my prayers and I will continue to pray for you that you will NOT need a revision! Let's just leave it in God's hands and He will see you though ANYTHING, we may not like the way that it is done, but in the end it is what is meant to be. I know that our Lord is with you and your's and that he will make sure you are alright. Keep up the research and keep looking for a way out.
Blessing
