You're creating some doubt for me about my upcoming surgery. I wish you weren't experiencing this. Is this the first problem you've had since surgery. When was your surgery and did you have the bypass or the sleeve? I had my gallbladder out 40 years ago already. Is it certain foods that are causing a problem with you? Did you have stomach problems before the surgery? Wishing you wellness soon!

Hi there

Sorry to hear you're back in the hospital. It must be frustrating. I hope they figure out what the problem is and fix it. Enjoy your day pass tomorrow and have fun shopping. I think we all know, that won't be a problem!! Take care

Topic: RE: VIC Meeting

I have not recd June email yet, but I know it is June 5 and is plastics. Will post when I get it so you can call amara and get put on the list. There were about 12 people on the paper which I thought was low to begin with, but only 6 of us showed. Yah, I am not sure what is going on, if people aren't being notified or what? Whoever hears first, please post to let everyone know so they can sign up.
PS.. There is only 1 more in June, and then they are on break for the summer so don't expect anymore after this one coming up. Hope to see you there. we will plan on going for coffee after too. Barb. C.

I went through all my emails from Amara and I did not get notification of the May Pilate's Education Class. Yesterday was the first I heard about it when I read the boards here so I went through my emails to double-check. All I found was some info regarding upcoming sessions at the bottom of the April session email. I was even at the clinic in the a.m. and nothing was said to me. It seems odd that only 6 people showed up, perhaps others didn't get the email. Has the email for the June education session been sent out yet?

Topic: Does it ever end?

I am taking up permanent residence here at st b. I went to see Dr Vergis with stomach pain yesterday, was admitted and had a CT scan. He came by at 10:30 last nite to tell me he would have to review my ct in the morning. He said other stuff too but after dilaudid and a sleeping pill I am still not 100% sure he was really here. Today I had an ultrasound to check for gallstones...possibility. I also had a scope which both Drs Andrew and Vergis were there for. I have another ulcer and ?fistula, ?perforation. Hey are unsure how to treat it but i will be going for the oh so palatable leak test on Monday. In the meantime NPO and worry. Dr Vergis will talk to me more tomorrow as I shut down when they gave me the news. My ct results are still up for interpretation. Dr Vergis is going to get input from other bariatric docs in the country. Oh well, at least they will give me a pass tomorrow to go shopping...le chateau has a really cute crocheted skirt! kj

Call Amara at the Vic Bariatric Program. Leave your name, phone # and email address and tell her you want to be notified of all future Bariatric Education classes that are being held. there is one more Wednesday, June 5 th ..it may be full though as it will be quite a popular topic. Think they are the on brea****il September.
