Which Doc should I call??
Should I call my PCP, WLS surgeon, chiropractor...???
Saturday night went to bed. Layed there abou 45 minutes when pain started and I couldn't breathe! Pain in chest just below the sternum and through the back! Just below sternum abdoman area was hard as a rock. Got to my feet finally and started to walk a little and the pain started to subside!! Ended up dosing sitting up in the recliner all night!! Tired all day yesterday with bearable chest pain off and on all day. Last night same story. Tried going back to bed with lots of pillows but within 10 min pain started again. Afraid to lie down again I have been upright all night in the chair. Who should I call about this?? Ken thinks it is my diaphram spasming but can't imagine why!! Chest still sore this morning and no appetite!!
Thanks for any insight!!

- Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.

Weighed options, talked to hubby, called surgeon (Dr Dyslin) He will see me at 2:30 today!! It is probably the adhesions wrapped around something else is what Ken and I are thinking. No real heart symptons, Ken is watching for that--he was a clinical parmedic in Alaska!He or I will let yall know what happening!! PRAY please--I am really sick of all of it and starting to lose faith!!

okay, this is where it stands...
added valium at night to relax everything so wont cramp up
friday I am having an edg to open up my pouch where it empties
Doc asked if I wanted a 2nd opinion he would send me to Dr Provost i Denton--anyone know anything about him??
If this doesn't work he will go in and revise my pouch and take down the most troublesome adhesions. but, it would have to be open surgery because of all the adhesions!!
Not sure how I feel! Frustrated for sure and want this to end. Now would be better than having anything happen over the holidays I cannot miss work then!!
Anybody have any ideas or thoughts??
