Back I go...

I have an appointment at 1:30 on Friday in Moncton to talk to Dr. Beausoleil.  I'm having a lot of trouble these last few weeks.  I get stuck almost every day, at least this week, it's every day.  Lise thinks I need an unfill.  I probably do, but I think it's more than that.  It could be the gall bladder problem again, but i think it's more than that.  I don't know what, but it's just not right.  Could be a slip or something...I don't know.  But hopefully he will be able to fix me. I never have a good food day.  So wish me luck.  if anyone else is going to be there, let me know.  Patsy

Aww Patsy, you've had so much trouble since surgery and still you have perservered and lost weight. Hopefully it is just your gallbladder and it can be removed and all will be well. Wishing you all the best of luck sweetie. Hang in there. Fingers crossed it is not a slippage and it is just overfilled and all you will need is an unfill. Keep us posted.

Best of luck Patsy.  I hope/ pray it is nothing serious.

Good Luck Patsy, keep us posted!!!

I haven't experienced it yet (thank god) but what does it feel like to get food stuck?

Patsy ,sorry to hear you have had such problems. You have done so well through all of it too! I will pray it will get resolved on Friday:)

So sorry to hear of your troubles Patsy.
You are doing so well though, sorry you are so uncomfortable.
Hopefully they will get you fixed up Friday.

I go back to the surgeon on Friday too.
I have been doing well so I don't expect any surprises.

Take care and I'll think positive thoughts!

Patsy, I'll be thinking of you and I hope Dr B can get to the root of the issue for you. I hate that you are having a tough go of this :(

I wish I could get up to Moncton tomorrow and meet up with you. Don't suppose you could "swing by" Saint John eh? Darn :)

Wow Patsy, all this progress despite the pain, you're one tough broad !!!! ( I mean that in the best way) I hope all goes well for your appointment.

Hi Patsy,

Thanks every one for your well wishes.  I can't wait to feel great.  I have good days and bad but those stuck episodes are a killer.

Someone here asked what it feels like and all i can say is that it's an incredible pain in your breast bone right where the band would be.  Uncomfortable.  Really bad achy pain between your shoulder blades.  I rock, roll, twist and jump and nothing seems to help.  Mine usually last about 4 hours,  I've heard some say they get stuck and it's gone in 5 or 10 mins.  to me that is not stuck just slow.

Stuck is absolutely miserable.  Pain Pain Pain.  It makes you feel like you wish you could throw up to help relieve it, but you aren't supposed to.  the worst thing you could ever do is to take a drink to help unplug it.  It makes it worse, so don't try that. 

So, to all of  you who haven't gotten stuck yet, DON'T!!!!!!  chew chew chew.  I do chew well but something keeps happening to me. 

We shall see what Friday brings.  I want this to work so bad.  and I am doing well, but want to keep going in that direction.  I don't want any setbacks.
