Health update

Hey guys
I am just writing to update everyone on what's been going on. I know a couple of people have sent me pm's but I am on my phone and can't respond to them. I just figured out how to post in the forum. Let's see where to begin. I have been in the hospital since the second of april with my stricture issues. I was at kaiser fontana but they agreed to send me back to san diego to see my surgeon. Kaiser basically said there was nothing else they could do for me. I was placed on tpn since my bloodwork registered me as malnourished...not eating for 2 months will do that. I have been dilated a total of 6 times waiting on #7. If the next one doesn't work then I will have to get a revision of the anastomosis either way I have to have surgery. In 2 months I also developed gallstones. What can I say...when I do it I do it right.

Sorry if this makes no sense but I wanted to do an update. Love you all for the continued support I am hanging in there but its hard. And just for the record this is soooooooo not the easy way out. No one better ever tell me that one...lol

You are in my thoughts and prayers too. I hope things start looking up soon! Hang in there!

Nathalie,

I'm sorry you are still having a rough go of it. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully 7 will become your lucky number. Keep us posted on how things are going.

You are a trooper with a terrific outlook...best wishes on a positive procedure and a speedy recovery!

So sorry you are going through all of this....you need to talk with Linda Murray (Plan2behealthy)...she went through the strictures for over a year and is finally able to eat food.  She was stretched more times than I know and ended up having to have an emergency revision but now is finally doing better.  This is definitely NOT an easy way out...Will keep you in my prayers that the 7th stretch works.  Just hang in there....
