Hey everyone!
Sorry I haven't been around but things have been nuts around here. Which the school year coming to a close we are scrambling to find a summer camp for our son. He is also taking acting and chess lessons this summer. Its been crazy busy. I am glad I have one of my best friends(pic is in profile) is helping me so much w/simple things we all take over granted(like food shopping, pick up/dropping off my son, taking holden to the park etc) He and Dennis are so good in helping me...love them.
I still recieve some infusions a few times a month. This morning I am going for my iron/glucose, fun stuff. My motlity problem is still there(upper gi confirms it)
I am at the point of just trying to control the symptoms so I can be somewhat normal. I take zofran and marinol(not it doesnt make you high!) on a daily basis to control the nausea. I still hve such a hard time with solid foods that I dont even bother anymore b/c its frustrating and then I'm sick for like three hours after I eat. I have given up in trying to make this surgery work for me anymore. We are just trying to control the symptoms at this point.
I have developed low blood sugar levels that have caused me to pass out w/out warning, its pretty scary. I have to make sure i drink at like 5 boost to avoid that and do the infusions.
I have lost alittle more weight(not on purpose!) but not enough for them to bring out the TPN on me again, blah!
We are all coming to agreement that this surgery just isn't for me given how LONG this has been going on and how every attempt to make this WLS surgery move things along for me as been tried. Enough really is enough. We have tired every freakin pill and surgery to make things better. And no it isn't in my head, it's in my stomach.
My surgeon, GI Dr, PCP, Dennis and I are all on the same page. We are going to get a second opinion before i am touched again. Surgicial and GI opinions that is. But I am pretty sure I know what I want to do at this point.
I have to get ready to go to the doc for my stupid infusions of iron and glucose now. Take care of yourself guys! love ya.
Be well and keep in touch!

Tavia,
I am sorry that you have to deal with this hun 
Know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers that this comes to an end and they find something that will help for good! I know with the summer almost here that there is so much stuff to do around the house and all, it sure takes some time to find to peek into the board! So good to see you!
Would they ever think about reversing the surgery? Would that even help at this point?
Keep in touch hun! Good luck at the Drs today!
