First bump in the road @15 months

Last Saturday night I started to have a pain in my stomach. I couldn't sleep or get comfortable. I had had a sore throat so I thought maybe I was getting a virus. By Sunday morning I knew something was wrong with my pouch. I called my surgeon who had me come to the ER where he admitted me for observation. I had an ultrasound of my gall bladder and a scope of my pouch. No gall bladder problems and no ulcer but my pouch is seriously irritated and he's not sure why. I was also found to be severely anemic. I had an iron infusion by IV while still in the hospital. I was released Tuesday with acid reducing meds and on liquids and soft foods diet, just like post-op 15 months ago. I've lost about 8 lbs. down to 125. I still don't feel well, especially when I eat. It's been a strange week. I haven't done anything differently to irritate my stomach and I take my vitamins regularly. I know we'll figure it out but it's really inconvenient being under the weather. Sorry to whine but it sure helps to vent. Take care, Melissa 270/125

You can whine to us anytime, that's what we are here for! hope you feel better soon.

whine away - we're all here for you. I'm so sorry you're feeling icky - I'll think extra good thoughts for you today!

Sometimes by whining we get good information from others who have been there. Have you been taking any new over the counter medications that might be irritating your pouch? Hope someone reads the post and will be able to give you some insight. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

sorry you are not feeling good, hope you get better soon! gratitude is my attitude Amanda S VG-DS October 2001 highest >350/342 start of wls journey/156@goal and after ps
