Hello everybody,

Moving is a mystery to me. My one and only move EVER was from my parents home to this one when I got married in 1966.

the food rule in my house is "you bring in chocolate - take it home with you!!!" So I guess I kind of understand the no alcohol rule. Easier not to make waves.

Next Tuesday I finally go for the endoscopy. My surgeon made me feel as if the inability to eat was my fault. He made me cry and swear. I'd rather swear than cry any day.

Tom is having fits and worried that I'll end up in the hospital for malnutrition. My weight loss is worrying me too. When he complains my appetite evaporates even more. People who haven't had WLS don't always understand that occasionally, things go wrong through no fault of our own.

Kisses to all

Annette:

Hope all goes well with the EGD. Your surgeon reminds me of ortho doc No. 2, who told me there was nothing wrong with my right knee. I yelled at him and left the office in tears. He scheduled me with another associate in his office, who said I did need a revision of the knee replacement (which No. 2 said I didn't). It was as if he was telling me the pain was all my fault ... so I know how you feel. it's the same with knee replacement. Sometimes things go wrong through no fault of our own, or the doc's. But we want to be listened to and dealt with, not waved away.

Eileen,

You went through so much pain before you got a good doctor.

Usually my surgeon is great, but lately he seems to dismiss those of us further out.

Annette 

Got to love some of these drs!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRR keeping you in my prayers sis!!!

HUGS

Thanks Angel,

I try to tell myself he had an off day. He's better be nice when I see him on the 20th or my ***** claws will come out.

Annette....I am concerned about your not eating. I hope they can help with that soon!! I don't like that he made you cry and swear! It is NOT YOUR FAULT!!

Sending many hugs, prayers, and love....connie d

Thank you Connie,

It is probably a stricture or an ulcer. The test should give an answer. Meanwhile, I  eat only high protein and easy to swallow food several times a day.

Oh Annette, that so reminds me of both the nutritionists and the surgeon who took care of me in lieu of my weightloss doctor.  Both blamed me for my weight loss and kept telling me that I was choosing not to eat.  Well, after months of pain and agony and losing so much weight that I could barely walk, the surgeon finally found the problem.  I had so many ulcers that my pouch was digesting itself and a large section of my small intestine was so damaged that they had to give me back some of the intestine that they bypassed.   I hope you end up finding what the heck is wrong so you can get fixed.   As much as I enjoyed losing all that weight and losing it quickly, the pain was awful.  Good luck.  

Thanks Jeannie,

You did go through Hell for a long time. In the beginning I would have liked the weight loss. Sure don't need it now.
