It's been cold all day on the island and we are expecting snow later tonight and tomorrow. Today I ran around and did errands before the snow... Breakfast: a Ka****railmix bar in the car on the way to the drug store Lunch: French onion soup with no bread in it, 1/2 size grilled chicken salad at Applebees Dinner: 1/2 a small chili at Wendys, Blue Bunny health smart raspberry cream bar for dessert Have a great night! I hope it doesn't snow...

I am so sorry that you have to endure all of this pain and suffering... Sending you lots of prayers and hugs Marcia

Frances, (((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))) Let's hope you get to the bottom of this very soon. Enough is enough. Take care sweetie!

I'm posting here and on the DS board. Yes, seems like a strange combinations, but Life is tough right now and I just can't go through all the explanations for those people who are going to start freaking out and comparing symptoms. Your advice, support and prayers have been a Godsend today. Before I got out of bed this morning, the radiology clinic called asking me to come back as soon as possible to take different angles for the radiologist. It's scary, but I was thinking maybe someone is finally on to something that's going to force someone to help me. So, I've gotten my second set of ultrasound pics without getting a GYN call-back yet. Afterwards, I did an esophageal manometry. I had no idea what this was and I thought it was the same esophageal mobility tests that a lot of wls patients get. It was not. It involved pushing several feet of tubing into my nose, though my throat and esophagus and down into my stomach right past my lap band. I do not have the words to describe how painful this was. I've been sleeping off pain meds ever since. I hope tomorrow brings some results that I can bring to "someone" to help me. I don't want this problem to be worst-case scenario, but the most qualified oncologist in town has always repeated that he will not operate on me without a confirmed cancer diagnosis. I'm determined to find someone who will stop this before it gets to that point. Prayers, kind thoughts -- all appreciated, Frances
