Please keep her in your thoughts...she may have a blockage and has been throwing everything up and nothing stays down.  She had to call 911 as she had no one to drive her there and it was like 1am.... Keep her in your prayers and I will update as soon as I hear back from her. SHannon

Hope everthing is Ok. and your home Typing to us again soon . Your in are prayers .

Thank you Shannon -- I am home now - it's 551am. I ended up getting ahold of my friends Kelly and Chris and they took me to the ER.  Chris went home ( as he had to work this AM) and Kelly stayed with me at the ER. Call it a bowel obstruction.  Fortunately, one that did not require surgery, but one that caused enormous pain, agony and discomfort.  (that aside from throwing up all afternoon yesterday!) I'm doing better, and obviously ok enough not to be admitted (which - was a close call this time!) and am home resting for the remainder of my weekend off. Sucks to end up in the ER 3 times in 1 month.  But with WLS, you have to be pro-active with your issues and problems- they can be life threatening as my ER doctor said to me tonight. Thanks Shannon for caring enough :) to let people know I was heading to the ER and keeping well wishes and thoughts for me. Stacey

That's w hat friends are for!!!!!!!!! Special thanks to Kelly and her hubby for being so kind and taking you there.

  thanks- you're the best Stacey

Phew.. When I saw this post my hearet stopped Stacy. So I am soooo glad all is well. Take care and rest today ok??

Patt, tell me about it.  3 times in the ER in the past two weeks?  but the first two times were asthma related.............not bowel problems. i am able to drink liquids and eat again- small doses at a time, keeping the fluids in to stay hydrated. had a nice bowl of twigs and sticks for b'fast this am along with a few bites of flax seed granola.........and so far doing ok. minor pain still- I'm so sore I could cry.....but better to be home that in a hospital crying.  I'm very lucky this time.  ER doc said it could have been admitting/surgical. Thanks Patt! Stacey

Glad to hear that you are home and better. I know that had to have scared you but thank god that it did not require surgery. Keep us posted and let us know how you are doing. Stay home and rest today.. Suzanne

I believe the scariest part was not being able to keep anything down......and fearing the worst- a blockage.  I've been through that once before. And it isn't fun----NEITHER was this but thank god I didn't need surgery-just some fun procedures and a few pills and a few shots of pain meds- my tummy hurt and still does from it all. I'm resting- on sofa, sipping coffee, eating twigs and sticks and flax seed granola.  Got a bad headache- probably from all the 'excitement". thanks  :) Stacey

Stacey, I'm glad to hear you're home and doing better! You need to stop worrying us!! Anna
