I do want to start out and tell everyone how thankful I am for your support. I have been kinda not telling everything that is going on with me. I had my rny on June 2nd this year. Weight is coming off, but not the way I wanted it to. I have been vomitting for the past 4 weeks or so. I am not keeping any food down. Even my vitamins I get sick over. So I went to get an endoscopy less than 3 weeks ago, they told me they saw I was swollen and red but just keep taking the 3 stomache meds I was given. Did that- still vomitting.. SO went back and saw Jeanine on Tuesday. She prescribed a patch and put me in the outpatient infusion center to get pumped up with fluid and vitamins because of dehydration. As they were pumping in anti nausea medicine I was getting sick. So Jeanine has me going in for another endoscopy tomorrow. I am hoping that we can get to the bottom of this now. I still have not been back to work since I cant stay out of bathroom for more than an hour. I just want my life back. I know or hope life will get better soon. I always try to be positive but I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. Thank you for listening to my rant and if you are still reading please say a quick prayer that they figure out whats going on. My appt is at 920, so at least I can get it over with soon.

Thanks,
Brooke

thanks I am really living by the rule of take one day at a time. I know we all have obstacles to go through and mine is this right now. My poor son is scared to death to see his mom getting sick all the time. I can handle it, I just dont want him to be messed up. He told his grandma that he had to tell her a secret. The secret was he was scared I was going to die. I try not to get sick in front of him. I will run to the bathroom, but he has caught on and runs after me to check on me. I told him mommy is going to be just fine. I explained that this can happen but nothing is going to take his mommy away. I feel so bad for him

Good am Brooke,

Hope things go smoothly with the Endoscopy. This is something that happens to some folks following WLS. Mine occured much later than most folks (13 & 14 months post op). I've had 2 strictures and a bleeding ulcer. I had 2 Endoscopies and the 2nd one finally did the trick. In any event, we are here for you and keep us posted.

All best!

Brooke,
{{hugs}}  Wishing you all the best with the Endoscopy and prayers that they find out what is wrong.  I, too, get sick regurlary.  I know where mine comes from...it's a sinus drainage.  I am on Zofran regurlary and it helps a lot, but not 100%.  If you want to get together, let me know.  I am near St. Mary;s Hospital and usually get off from work at 5 or 5:30.  We could meet up and talk about things.  I have been where you are and it is not fun.  Mine were at 5 weeks and 5 months post op.  You are not alone!

Feel better soon.

Oh Brooke, I had no idea you were suffering so much! You should certainly not have to vomit day in and day out. I so hope they get to the bottom of all of this soon.

By the time you read this it will have been done - hope you can tell us some good news when you come back on...
