thanks......im not trying to be anyones pitty party i just need help ive gone so long and im tierd of the pain i guesse ill try the patch and if its no good i will have to go with oxi. thank every one who has given me advice.
You might try the oxis, I took them before the morphine and they really helped me. I only changed because we were having trouble getting the oxis for awhile. They never made me loopy like the pot did. I also used a fentenyl patch when my hip was bad before they did a replacement on it (I was grinding bone on bone) it was amazing.Completely took the pain away and believe me it was severe. Good luck, I sure hope they can find something to help you we all know how painful it can be!
THANKS.
I experience Fibro as well. I control my pain pretty well with the Fentanyl patch and Norco as a break through med. I myself had RNY almost 4 yrs ago and lost 90 lbs. I have maintained my weight at 136-138 lbs. I am not sure what order to say these in and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I don't know how to say it. I apologize if I offend anyone. But, the weight loss surgery is only a tool. So with that being said, the weight won't stay off if you (people in general, going through this) don't get the problem fixed in your head, emotionally. Eating for emotional reasons should have been cut pre op. That is so important. So, if you eat for comfort, please go see a therapist, counselor, psychologist (can't give meds), psychiatrist (can give meds) anyone that can help one with this issue. It is so important to fix this problem first. No eating, you can feel better about yourself, which will give you the motivation to loss the weight again, (back to basics), less Fibro pain. You will find that you don't have pain as bad from your Fibro, cuz stress causes it to flare up. I understand the chain of events happening here. Although I can't understand how a person with a small stomach can gain weight without having a lot of pain or discomfort in your pouch, or throwing up because it is too full. Is it overeating that causes the weight gain or your choice of food? Again, I can't put them in order, but I see what needs to be fixed first. Take care of emotional eating, gain confidence, want to loss weight again, start exercising, Fibro gets better with meds and then you are on your way to a successful weight loss as you have planned all along. But please don't let the tie with food sabatage your weight loss. This surgery is a tool and unfortunatly it doesn't fix the emotional issues. You won't excercise if you hurt, or if you are depressed. I hope I was able to shed some light on the situation. Like I said, I don't know what order to put these in, but I think you can see where I am going with this. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings here, I love this forum. But honesty will be the first door to open. You have to be honest with yourself, and figure out why you are where you are today with your wls, excercising, and Fibro. My prayers are with all of my fibro friends. I only mean well by this email. Kristy
