Hey there I'm sorry you're going through this. You and I are in the same boat. Albeit our pains are different, yet they are still unexplained.. How eerie that my surgery was just a few days after yours and here we are almost 18 months later with problems. 

Read my thread on this page about my continued problems. Hang in there! You look great! I know the pain sucks believe me. But just think of how much weight you lost. Dr. Peters will figure it out. Everyone at Chrias is wonderful. Hang in there!

Most of you know my story and know this has not been an smooth journey for me, but it has all been worth it.  Since August I have had a pain in my left side that is was very tender to even shower water over it.  Dr. Peters refered me to Dr. Swier for some nerve stuff.  After a couple of appointment, the pain has definately changed, as the point that was point tender is not nearly as sensative, but still hurts if pushed on (as in if I wear a belt that hits on that area it is amazingly uncomfortable.)  I had to use an abdominal binder to run for a while and then in November was able to just get away with some spandex.  I had a CT scan which showed nothing, but the pain is still there and it seems to be getting worse in that it hurts ALL the time some days.  It feels almost like a pulled muscle that is going on for several months.  I called today to make sure that CHRIAS has received the MRI as I was sure it would show something and had heard nothing (I had it done the end of Dec.). 

Anyway, I got a call back this afternoon that everything looked okay on the MRI.  I am trying so hard to stay positive, but I have taken Lortab 3 times today to try to get comfortable.  (I have taken Lortab since April of last year).  Some days I can go with nothing and other days like this I am waiting on the 6th hour and may only make it the 4th or 5th.  Dr. Peters is hoping it will just go away along with the nausea I still have.  So I saw him in December and said to come back in a few months; therefore, I have an appointment in March.  Unfortunately, I can not figure out anything that makes it better or worse (what I eat, my activity level, how I sleep, etc)  There are many nights where I can't sleep at all as I am just uncomfortable.

The problem is that I can't stop crying tonight as I am soooo frustrated.  i am not sorry for my RNY I am just frustrated that I do not feel like everyone else and nothing is showing up on an MRI or anything.  After all that I went through last winter I am more frustrated and depressed now than I was all last winter with a PICC line and feeding tube and numerous infections.  I think it is because I always saw an end to that stuff, but this left side pain seems like it will be here for life. 

I am not sure why I posted here, as there is nothing any of you can do.  I guess I was hoping talking about it might make is seem better in some sick way. 

Hope things are going well for all of you and you have survived our "snowy" winter.

Rob had WLS 7 yrs ago. This time Dr. Irgau did a hernia repair. 2 days is normal for RNY.
Relax, breathe and stay positive.

If you have Delaware state insurance....don't sweat ANYTHING just make sure you are on DPCI. My first consult was Dec 26th and I am scheduled for surgery Feb 17th approx 6 wks ALL clearances are done. Pre Op apt with Dr Peters is Feb 2cn and all my pre-admittance to St Francis will be done on the 2cnd Surgery the 17th.  I accomplished all the following within 3 weeks:

EKG
EGD

I got on it, was able to schedule the whole month out for Clearances etc..

Now on my way to the loosers bench

DPCI will require you to loose 2% of your weight...in my case was 5lbs....

hope this helps someone out there
