Hopeless Birthday

Jen, Thanks and looking forward to meeting you!

Teri I am not sure if this will help but it sure did help me!

Terri, I just wanted to add my support and best wishes. Thinking of you. Debbie

Hi Terri.  I'm new around here, so I don't know everyone very well yet, but I want to say thank you for your post.  One of my sister's biggest concerns about me getting the surgery is that she had a friend that went through exactly what you're describing.  I asked my doctor about it and he said that it's normal to go through periods of euphoria and periods of sadness.  He also said that very often we take off our rose colored glasses after surgery and start seeing relationships in a more honest light.  Outside of the unfortunate testing you're having to endure, it sounds like what you're feeling is quite normal even though knowing that something is normal doesn't necessarily make you feel any better.  In any event, as much as I love reading about everyone's successes, I'm grateful when people share their trying experiences also. It provides me with insight.  So, vent away any time you'd like! And Happy Birthday!!

Thanks, Good luck on your upcoming surgery!!

Hey Terry: Thanks for posting that it was your birthday.  Some of the girls posted some really juicy pics.  It helped me out.  I'm sorry to hear that your going through so much.  I feel the same way about eating.  Never can tell what and it something is going to stay down.  Keep going to those dr's appointments and hopefully they'll find and treat what the issue is.

Thanks, Lisa.   The food issue sucks, but the old timers tell me it will get better . Do you still get a alot of burping after eating, sometimes it is awul. I hope it subsides before I go back to work next week.   Hope you can make it to the meeting on the 10th.

I didn't realize it was you. you changed your avatar on me. i'm so sorry you are still struggling. i sure hope you find the reason soon. and i haven't forgotten about you. i have been feeling very bad lately. i get depression alot. but i am off tomorrow and plan on sending you those cd's. i think it will help you feel better listening to him. i hope you will forgive me for not sending them yet. keep us posted!

Thanks Nicole I really appreciate it.   I understand about the depression it is really hard sometimes.  Each day things will get better.  If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.
