For WLS patients with Gastric/Peptic ulcers
Yeah, Imma speak again...HEY BAF!
What I am about to type is muy importante! If you have GASTRIC/PEPTIC ulcers and you start to dry heave....have abdominal pain....and all those other ****** up symptoms from your ulcer....don't try to self-medicate and drink milk...eat yogurt or whatever else it is we do when are ulcer is being a *****! Especially if you take daily ulcer meds (I take Protonix daily).
My body kept trying to tell me, it was ill....I keep eating damn yogurt and pudding...tums...
I did this for I will say less then 2 weeks but more than a week....my husby had lost one of his favorite cousins to a shocking death....and after the funeral, we were at her mom's house....and I woke up and my head was on Kenn's lap...and I asked her, "Did I go to sleep?" She said yes, but your eyes were fluttering...I knew then I fainted! I aske her how long was I "sleep"...she said, "not long at all...you laid your head on my lap....closed your eyes and sat back up!" I said, "Okay, mommy is just tired!"
So, I said to self, when we get home self, you going to ER...self said...okay, but you ain't in control, Dee!
So, we left and went to her mom's house and went to her daughter's house....and Phil's cousin was young 44 years old...so we went over there....and Ihad him stop by the store and get me a choc milk....the pain was now unbearable....and I was hanging on just to be a support to him and his family....
but we wre in the house 15 minutes before I got dizzy...and the pain migrated from my abs to my back to my chest.....I grabbed Kenn....said BATHROOM NOW...and she helped me up.....we passed by Phil ~with his real drunk self~ and he said WHAT....and he ran in the bathroom with me as I barfed until I could not barf anymore. He said, "Dee, how long been sick today?" I couldn't even answer....so now, my real drunk husband ~I'm the designated driver~ calls his sissy to the bathroom...tell her to take K & K with her, we were going to sneak out because we don't want to scare his cousin's kids...~her potassium was low...she did not know....went to sleep....lawd gawd....whew, well, that was it....~ as SOON as we got to the car, I dry heaved for 10 minutes...and next thing I know....we damn near at the hospital!
To not keep going on and on....I was admitted....with acute pancreatitis....b/c I waited so long for treatment....not only was my pancreas inflammed, it was infected!
Since my gallbladder was okay...no gallstones, the doc said, though my recovery would be longer, I would recover.
I signed a waiver not to be admitted that night ~yes, it's true cause my house was nassy~ I went home....cleaned up....medicated....sat with my kids the next day....told them I loved them...call my family down souf....then admitted myself into the hospital where I was treated with IV fluids and antibiotics bc I could not even keep down BROTH!
So, I was realeased....2 days later...I fainted....went back....with symptoms of an awful neverending sweet taste in my mouth, blurred vision, and frequent urination, but I could not urinate....my pancreas said, So lil *****let me show you how I work...not only am I the organ that digest **** you put in your mouf....I produce insulin...you know what inssulin is? So, my glucose level flipped a scipt on my asse and shot up! I'm like, Dayum, if I could live without a pancreas, I'd cut this ***** out mydamnself! But, alas, it is a needed organ!
So, now, I heal....and eat ONLY what the lil ***** says it will digest. I am still having problems with urination, but my bladder looked very good on the ultrasound and CT scan....my glocuse level is GREAT....so the PeePee specialist (urologist) said that I had dysuria brought on by acute pancreatitis. Yes, I have to take meds to go wee wee or it won't come out! Ironically, he said because of the pain...now I don't fell the pain, but when I take my meds, I go wee wee with no problems....and the wee wee is scary looking....cause it is ORANGE!
I go back for labs once more next week and I hope this ends this ****!
I said all that to say....don't try to play doctor with your body....it could cost you your life!

I've been playing doctor with tums, Rolaids, ginger-ale, peppermint tea, baking soda and a few other things I'm beginning to think this pain is not gas I have an appointment today at 1:40 because my stomach hurts in one area when I put any pressure on it.
I just hate when I have the feeling that this is gas but I can't kick it and I visit the doctor who says its a bad case of indigestion but better safe than sorry!
