Have come to a decision

Good Morning,

I wanted to let you all know that I spoke to the doctor in Dallas on Friday and he wants me to see a Bariatric doctor in Dallas, I think his name was Coones.  Not sure.  I have done lots of praying and asking for some guidance and have come to the decision that I am NOT going to see anymore doctors.  The pain is bareable, as long as I keep my Bentil handy, take the acidopholis, and the Acifex.  I am really just tired of being passed from one doctor to another cause no one can figure it out.  I have put it in God's hands, after all he is the ultimate healer.  When we get to our new duty station, if it is still bothering me I will search for a doctor there.  I do plan to have one more scope done before we leave here.  Thank you all for understanding.  You are the best.  Love you all.

Michelle

Michelle,
I totally understand your frustration with the doctors and understand your limitations with Tricare.  But above all, please listen to your body and if it gets worse do whatever you have to do to get some relief...even if it's going outside our network.  Praying for your healing.

Blessings,
Carol

If it gets real bad I will do what I have to do.  For right now it is managable with the medicine, but if it gets to the poing where I cant handle it I wll go back to primary care and get a referral to another doc.  Cant afford to go outside the network right now!  Thanks for careing and responding.  Hugs.

Michelle, I agree with Carol.......I know you are frustrated but don't discount your pain......go to the ER if necessary, sitting and waiting because you aren't getting help isn't a wise decision.  Things can change quickly and it may be a very serious situation.

Prayers for healing sweetie.

Hugs,

I promise Dana if it gets really bad I will head to the ER.  I have been there before.  Like I just said to Carol for right now the pain is managealbe with the Bentil.  Thanks for careing.  Love you!   Michelle

Michelle, I have heard of Coones before, i do not know anything about him. I know that you have had a time with all of this. I will keep you in prayer and hope that this can heal soon. Hang in there you are loved.
Hugs, Robin

I know he is somewhere over by Baylor.  Does not matter because he does not take tricare so I will just deal for now.   Thanks for careing.  Love you!

If he'a at Baylor it may be Dr. Kuhn's.  From what I hear he is a VERY good doctor.  So don't rule out seeing him if things don't get any better.  You are in my prayers.

Michelle,

Like everyone said, if it gets too bad go back to the Dr. But I'm hoping if you watch what you eat it will get better. You might also try to go with the Gluten free diet, and I also know that I've become lactose intolerant and if I drink milk or eat ice cream even SF my stomach hurts really bad. Sometimes I think tummy trouble just kinda goes with WLS. At least once a week my tummy hurts so bad I have to put a heating pad on it. Have been to the ER a few times and all they say is inflammation. But life is tooooo short for us to spend all our time at Dr's offices.

Your loved!
