Update on gastric problems
I posted this on the DS forum, but thought I would put it here too. I don't know if you all remember, but I have had a lot of problems since surgery. I have been nauseated and vomiting all along. Nobody on the DS board has done this as long as me! I lost 20 lbs. last month and that is way too much. I've been back and forth to the gastro doc for months. Here is the latest....
I had yet another endoscopy procedure today. For a little background, I am still experiencing nausea and vomiting at 10 months out. I can barely eat anything. The doc thinks he may have found my problem!!!! I have an indention in my stomach that is not suppose to be there and he thinks it may be acting like a flap to trap food. Tomorrow I have an upper GI. Once all of these test results are in he will send it to my surgeon and see where to go from there. I am so happy that he found something! I can't wait to eat like you all talk about. I want a pound of bacon like Lori! This past month I lost 20 lbs. While I am glad to get closer to my goal I am losing way to fast! My body looks like a deflated balloon! Swing those chickens for the doctors to find and fix my problem!

I'm glad that they might have found your problem. I hope that you get to feeling better really soon.

I'm still hanging in there. I spent the night in the ER because I was dehydrated. I had 3 bags of fluid. I will take that as a lesson to sip, sip, sip. I thought I was gonna die. What a horrible experience. I feel much better today though.
