I went for my ultrasound and then back again to my local hospital for my CT scan.  I had to drink that nasty stuff for the CT scan that they mixed with crystal light, yuck!  I also had to have the die through IV, and that took two pokes.  Anyway I asked the ultrasound techinician how my gall bladder looked and she said it looked ok to her, but the Dr. would know more.  So as I thought, I really dont think its my gall bladder.  I have been thinking all along that its an ulcer, it has all the symptoms of one.  I am not sure if that will show in the CT scan or not.  I know they usually do an endoscopy I believe its called to determine that, but maybe the CT scan will show.  I really dont want to have any more tests, but will do it to get to the bottom of this.  I am sick of being SICK.  I have a low grade fever off and on, stomach with any food or liquid, nausea at times, vomitted a couple times, dizziness, headache and tired of all this.  I though the point of surgery was to feel better, and there are ways I feel better, but I have been through a lot of garbage to get here.  I guess the good thing is I am still losing weight, I am now at 93 lbs lost since I started this process.  So now I am supposed to wait til next Wednesday drive to Bangor, which is over an hour away, and find out results, which will probably nothing and have to go further tests.  I did have blood work the other day at the hospital and my liver and etc looked fine.  Anyway, take care all and have a good weekend!!  Hugs...Angela

Good Luck with everything.  Seems like someone is just not listening to your symptoms.  I hope they get it together and get you well soon.
