Long time since I've vented but I need to :).

I'm still dealing with getting sick alot from food and the pouch has started hurting again when I eat certain things and last night was so bad I was crying so today I choose to call Dr. Miles office and spoke to the nurse and told her I've been trying to deal with it on my own but I can't anymore. She said she would talk to Dr. Miles and get back with me probably late this afternoon.I can drink protein drinks, eat yogurt, soups, pudding anything that kinda slides down but give me meat and things like that then that's when it starts. I'm wondering if I have another stricture or if this is normal? So I'm just asking for prayers that they will fix whatever is wrong with me because I'm 4 months out and this has been the worst 4 months of my life it seems like as far as being sick goes. Thanks for listening.

Cindy, Sorry you are still having such a hard time! I still have trouble with some meats and eggs, sometimes they are ok and others they don't do so well. I am going to give up eggs for awhile, they worked really well the first couple of weeks but not any more. Hope they can find out what is going on soon!

Thanks Jeff, I know I'm not the only one who has troubles but sometimes I feel like it lol. The doctor put me back on Nexium and going to do another endoscopy to see if I have another stricture and they are going to try to do that next Friday.

I am sorry that you having a tough time of it Cindy. Talk with the doc and see what he says. I am really blessed that I have been doing so well. I hope you start feeling as good as I do. Good luck.

Thanks Sandy :). Dr. Miles put me back on Nexium and going to do another Endoscopy to see if I have another stricture.

Hi Cindy,

I'm no Dr., but like you I suspect a stricture. While everyone progresses at a different rate, it isn't 'normal' to not be able to handle 'soft solids' at this point. Generally, I would expect you to be able to eat anything that is fork tender... or something that you can cut with a fork. Of course, you would need to chew the heck out of it, but I would think that you should be able to injest more solids than you are now.

I hope that you'll connect with your Dr. soon.

Hey Barbara, I think the doctor suspects another stricture as well because he wants to go back in and look hopefully next week, but in the mean time he put me back on Nexium and wants me to call the office on Monday to see how I did with food over the weekend. Thanks for the support you always give me :).

Cindy, I'm really glad you're going to see your doctor.  You're right, 4 months being sick is not right!!!   Don't let your doc blow you off - make sure he does some tests or at least recommends some options.  You deserve to feel better!!!!!!

Thanks Vickie, the doctor is going to do another Endoscopy on me and put me back on Nexium so hopefully we will get to the bottom of this.

Cindy
I am glad you called your Doctor. I am sooo sorry you are in pain and I hope everything gets better for you!!
