Prayers Please

Hi All, I just wanted to let you know, that I am Still having issues, and with it severe pain. I had a small reprieve with the vomiting, but then it came back with a vengence. I am unable to keep any solids down without violent vomiting, and now I have severe pain under the right breast, mid abdomen. I simply do not eat because the vomiting is so intense, and the pain, that I prefer not to invoke it. I have been avoiding dealing with this as long as I could due to fright mostly. I had so many complications, that I am really really afraid. I know that sounds stupid to some, but the fear is very real to me. The pain has become so intense, that I can no longer avoid it. I broke down this morning and called to move my appt up with my surgeon (it was scheduled for next week) My appt with Dr. Steinburg is tomorrow afternoon. I really hope we can come to a resolve with this. Yes, I am happy with my 70 lbs loss...But this has been almost 4 months of hell, and very nerve wracking. In addition, we just found out that my 12 year old Kelli will have to undergo yet an addditional surgery. We are simply waiting on the pre-cert to go through. Anyway- I will glady take prayers. Thanks for your support. Much Denise

Dear friend, you most definately have my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do to make it easier for you, just let me know. You aren't too far away for me to come help. Call if you need me. Hugs, Debra =^..^=

Thanks Deb I appreciate the support. I guess I am a tad bit depressed and overwhelmed with FEAR of surgery. I know God is good, and he will see me through- I just need ot be lifted up out of this funk. Thanks for being here for me- You always have had a kind thing to say to me and I appreciate it. much Denise

DEnise This sounds like something my mom just went thru and she had a internal hernia ....So keep this in mind when you are tlaking to the doc tomarrow and have them go in and look around ..what ever they find they can fix trust me ...But Internal hernia ....KEEP THIS IN MIND it took moms doc three months to figuer this one out ...and all the tests too ...so i will keep you in my prayers and thoughts ...but please get it takin care of asap !!!! Laura

Laura, I know I have a hernia- Dr. S told my mom and husband at the time of the RNY that I had one as well as my gallbladder needed removed. If I recall he said the hernia was small. He did not want to remove or fix the hernia at the time. Said that he wanted me to lose weight and get healthier before doing so. At this point, I do not think I can take it any more- so if it requires a fix, I need them to do it. I definately will be talking to him about all options tomorrow. Thanks so much! Denise

Well i would go into that doc office tomarrow and demand that they take the gallbladder out and fix that herinna ...My mom had her gallbaldder oput three months after surgery and then the herina a year later ...And hers was a small one too but i will almost guarentee that thouse two things are what are causing your pain and there is no way you shoudl hav eto suffer like that at all ....I would demand to get them both fixed and removed ASAP !!!! Best of luck and keep us posted !!! Laura

I'm so sorry Denise. I can hear the desperation in your words. I really hope your surgeon can help you with this. Never "avoid" intense, ongoing pain. There's no point in that. Your surgeon has been paid to help you. We all deserve to be taken care of medically. I lived with seemingly 24/7 pain in my knees/joints/back a year or so before my surgery. It just wears you down. I never want to totally forget that. I hope it'll be an incentive for me to stay on the right trac****rtainly will whisper a prayer to God on behalf of your and Kelli.

Hi Joyce, It is not the surgeons fault as much as my own. In my mind, I could do this, and I was not being tough enough. Even after I had the series of medical tests and nothing showed, I thought, well maybe it is just me... I sucked it up. However, this is NOT just me, there is something wrong, and they have got to find it. I am one tough cookie and can deal with alot. Right now, my whole personality has changed. I am in pain, it is evident, and my patience level is shot. I just want ot fixed. You know? Thanks regarding Kelli...The anxiety there I am sure is not helping. Appreciate your and support. Denise

Hi Denise, I am SO relieved to read that you moved your surgeon's appointment up!! Hopefully, he/she will be able to pinpoint the cause of your distress and take immediate action. I can almost feel the pain you are in as you describe it, and I am fervently prayng for you. God bless you! Pat

Denise, I will be lifting you in prayer! I'm praying for wisdom for the surgeon and no more pain for you. I will also be praying for Kelli! Please keep us updated!!!! Big ((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))))))!!! Becky
