I'm so tired of being sick!

I just had to vent some.  I have had two endos, the last one on the 12th.  They dilated my strictures both times and last time it showed that I had a small ulcer.  So its been about 10 days and I ate dinner before I started work tonight and I vomited for 3 hours straight.  I tried to page my doctor, but never got a call back.  I am day one of three in a row at work, and I feel like crap.  I will probably have another endo this week.  Will it ever end?  I feel good for a day or two and then feel horrible.  I can keep fluids down, but that typically is it.  When I eat, I have to eat two or three bites, then wait a couple of hours and take a couple more.  I'm so frustrated, and finding myself regreting my decision to have this surgery.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. It does sound frustrating and difficult to deal with. I wish I could tell you just hold on and it will all get better. The truth is I can't say that. Surgery is a calculated risk we take, against the risks of staying morbidly obese. My main complication was a perforated ulcer last summer, which necessitated a helicopter transport to Carmel. It was scary and awful, but overall, I'm still glad I had surgery. I have my life back in so many ways. You will certainly be in our hopes for recovery on here.

Read my profile. 2 endo's? In hindsight, piece of cake. I just had my 20th last week. It does get better but you have to keep focussed on why you had the surgery. Trust me, this surgery is NOT the easy way out of obesity. Sure, some people have a smooth and easy journey, but others don't. 2 strictures and an ulcer though? It sure isn't time to get frustrated just yet! As I said, read my profile.

Michelle, first of all **HUGS**. I can commiserate with you. I have had 2 strictures and just on Friday was diagnosed with 10mm ulcer. I have been on TPN for almost a month through a PICC line because I have been unable to eat. I can relate to your feelings of frustration and regretting the decision to do the surgery. While I realize our issues aren't as bad as they come, they are still life altering and aggrevating. You have every right to be frustrated, but keep in mind the healthier new you that will be in the end. I still have faith that things are going to get better, and they have started to already. Please feel free to message me if you need to chat more or just vent, cause believe me, I totally understand!
