help! I know this sounds ridiculous, but I think something is very wrong!

That would be so perfect for me! I'm definitely asking about that! 

Thank you everyone for all of your suggestions,  advice, experiences and suggestions! I am at the ER now, I got so sick and couldn't stop vomiting and sweating and dizzy! I am glad I had my son take me in, I fainted when I arrived,  I am severly dehydrated, My potassium levels are at a 1? I have e coli, a UTI,  just came back from a cat scan and they believe i have a gallstone as well as my kidneys are infected!  They said the smel from my urine could have killed a small child and is septic? they're are giving me lots of fluids right now with antibiotics and potassium!  All my other vitamin levels came back good though!  Some good news! I feel weird and almost like I'm floating and hullucinating in a way it's weird they are going to admit me thank god the ER is close to my house, walking distance acruelly so I won't be far from the kids I told myself I need to listen to u all and if I felt anything more I would go in Yes I'm stubborn but thank u all for saying to go to the ER I probably would have still been home right now had it not been suggested and waited for my pcp appt Tuesday. . I need to stop feeling like a burden on people and stop being stubborn and start listening to people and my body lesson learned

Well I came late to this post but have read it all and want to say thank you for going to the ER, this really can be life threatening and your little ones need you around for a very long time! I just wanted to point out that you need to listen to your body, family and friends when they say something to you about how your body looks because they care about you.

You don't need to make a diagnosis for yourself on what's wrong, that is the doc's job! He is the one who is supposed to figure out that puzzle and if he isn't then you find a new one. When they get you back on your feet start looking for a new bariatric doc closer to your city so you have one that is easy to get to. It can be a challenge sometimes because they don't like taking in a different surgeon's patient but I'm sure you can find one. 

You also need to start working on loving yourself as much or even more than you love your kids. You are worthy of love even if your husband left you that is his problem not yours. You are still worthy of being loved! This may have also played a part in your attitude about yourself. So just remember to be kind and loving to yourself even if no one else does!

I hope the docs in the ER get you back on your feet and feeling better, sounds like your body is full of infection. Once you are released ask for a copy of the treatment they gave you and what caused it, who knows it could even be something bought on by your previous surgeon's work. Not saying it does have its beginning there, but just in case it does it is good to get copies of your treatment before they have a chance of disappearing. Wishing you all the best and hope by now they are well on their way to getting you feeling better!

Thank you for your kind words!  Definitely stressed out and overwhellmed and I do need to start loving and taking care of myself! Thank you so much for your support! This has all really opened my eyes up!! XOXO'S 

So glad to see you've gotten what was obviously desperately needed medical help.  

Come back and tell us how you're doing.

Mickey- you've been amazing,  thank you so much!! Xoxo, I'm still in the hospital but feeling sooooooooooooo much better! I should be out in the morning and I go to my pcp tomorrow afternoon.... then this dreadful surgeon Friday. ... but thank goodness I got some answers and support! Xoxo.  Ohhh and they put me on Prenatal Vitamins!   Is anyone else on these?  I would have never thought of it??

Yep, many bariatric surgery patients take prenatal multivites. I do as well. :)

Hey - have you mentioned to them that you believe you have a stricture that is causing you to be malnourished? They should be able to do a scan and see if that's your problem right there in the hospital and then correct it, if so! No need to wait to see your surgeon! It's worth asking about!

I am so sorry this is happening.  I would be so frightened.

If it were me, I would call around to local WLS friendly doctors and find one who will treat you.  Go to the appointment!  I would then make an appointment with someone to help you with the way your brain is looking at you.  IE, you still see yourself as fat.  I love therapists who use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.  I've learned how to stop the negative talk in my brain-it was such a relief to learn that I was in control of my thoughts and that feelings are not facts.

Keep in mind, that is just what I would do-looking back, on the mistakes that I made.

My thoughts are with you.

dr. Acosta did my surgery and his office is a total assembly line. I've needed no extra follow up but even what I have had is terribly scant.  Be sure and get your medical records after this hospitalization and make some serious fights in his office for support!
