Vent all you want Wanda, that's what we're hear for!! Hang in there. Hopefully, once you have your other tests your doc will be able to figure out what's going on. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Ann in Duluth

Wanda, I'm so sorry you are still feeling bad. Seriously if he can't figure out what the issues is I would highly suggest seeking another opinion from another surgeon. That's just my opinion. I pray you will get better. Amy

Wanda, as someone who has riden that roller coaster ride of complications, I SO understand what you mean. It took a long time for me to be glad I had my surgery. I'm concerned about one thing, are they giving you any nutrition??? I was in ICU for a good chunk of time before I was given any nutrition (via tube feeding). My husband said I looked terrible (sunken eyes, dark circles). He (my husband) finally INSISTED they do something. I'm sure you are very weak if you are getting no nutrition. Maybe it is time to get a second opinion, and that may not be easy. Most doctor's are not willing to take on another doctor's patient. But, maybe it is worth a try. Perhaps a place to start is with your PCP. Email me if you want to talk. Debbie J Duncan patient 01-14-02 lap-rny 01-15-02 leak repair surgery (non smoker, non steroid taker) 01-29-02 surgery to see if I had another leak, NO thank goodness!

Hi Wanda, I will keep you and your doctors in my prayers. From reading your posts, I agree with the other reply's. Get another opinion. It might be something so simple that he is missing that another surgeon can pick up on. I will continue to pray for you. God Bless, Tiffany.

I am soooo sorry Wanda!! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Tonya

Hi Wanda, I was just reading your post and your story sounds so much like another that I have heard. There is a lady that I converse with on a daily basis and her husband had the surgery. Well, he was constantly throwing up and they could not find anything medically wrong. And I know this is going to sound way out there..but it's what he was told. He has pyscho samatic syndrome(didn't spell that right, but you get the jist?). It seems that the doctors think he is creating physical symptoms with his mind and they are manifesting themselves. But they don't have any physical source. I don't know if I am explaining this right. I just wanted to throw that out there. And in no way am I saying you have this. I would seek second opinions and third and fourth if necessary until you learn what the problem is. I am praying for you and you are in my thoughts. I hope you feel better soon. Keep us posted!! HUGGSSS! Tonya W
