Amber!!

First of all, I'm so sorry you are continuing to have this problem and that it's getting worse. 

Second...  Do you have TriCare Prime?  Something you said makes me think you do. Anyway, can you call the Gastro place and tell them what's going on and how HORRIBLE you feel?  Maybe if you do that, they will work you in a bit sooner.  Sometimes when they just get the referral from TriCare they don't have all the info and just schedule according to the CPT codes...  Might be worth a shot, ya know? 

Good luck and if I can help you with anything, please let me know.  (Back in TX I worked as an HBA at the Naval Hospital in Corpus Christi).

Amber,

Oh, I am so sorry you are going through this. You are not getting the best care and this has gone on to long.  I hope this home remidy helps. I know I have been having probelms with potty too.  A week between and I am giving birth.  I have an appointment next week with the gastro Dr.  I am no where enar where you are.  I am concearned about you. 

I know this may sound crazy. I was watching my belly dancing video and at the end the lady was doing the warm down.  Of course my girls where fighting but I did get something from her.  She was in the squating position and she said this position is used all over the world, even to go the bathroom. It is good for colin, something else, and our repoductive health.  She said you could balance on your hands if you need to.  But, using her hips, she rocked front, side back and side again.  Then she did a littl bouncing with it.  At the end she balled her self up with her head down in the squat position.  I know it sounds crazy, but it might help?  It just made send to me when I watched it.

Keep us updated on what is going on.

I'm so sorry you are having this problem. I would suggest changing MD's. As far as the Military Health care goes, I have usually had very good care. Good luck and I hope you get this resolved soon.

Jackie, I started my period the day before my Gastric Bypass. I can not wear tampons so there is sat on a chucks pad and a foley in. EWWW! I think I had one female nurse! The Men were really wonderful about it all. Why does this always happen?
