Update

I went to the hospital where I went through a series of test.  I was told that I had severe gastritis and the beginnings of an ulcer.  I was put on alot of different medications, and some for pain.  I was also dehydrated and anemic because the ulcer had been bleeding.  Luckily for me it was healing up on its own.  I have another appointment on monday with my gastric doc to follow up.  I was told that I had to get my stress under control.  And also not to eat shellfish as this may have brought on the bleeding. that is what i ate the day i started to vomit blood.  i am still weak but feel a lot better. the ulcer is still painful though.  I am trying to stay positive and am going to see a therapist tomorrow.  i have been having alot of emotional problems here in the last couple of months. especially with self esteem.  i still see myself as the person i was and not the person i am.  plus i dont have all the fat to hide under anymore, and i am having a tough time.  so i thought that i should get some help and try to get my stress under control.  thank you for all the support yall have given me. i am curious to know if anyone else has struggled with the same issues.

I will keep you in my prayers that you have a speedy healing and things get back to normal for you soon. Sandi
