whiney baby here

Sandi, I hope you feel better soon.  You are not a whiney baby!!  If you have a pain, they need to find out what is causing it.

I had a pain over a month ago but it was above my belly button and in the middle of my chest.  They think I had irritated my pouch.  I took Carafate(?) for about a week every 2-3 hours and it hasn't hurt since then.

Thank you Linda!  I guess before my WLS I was basically healthy even though I know I was heading down a road where eventually my obesity would start causing health problems.    I am going to see my Dr. tomorrow. 
I am glad your pain is gone and they figured out what was wrong!  I know you are right, they need to find out what is causing mine!
Thank you.

I hope everything works out simply and quickly! Do you take prilosec twice a day? That's what they have me on for those problems. I also now take some medicine that coats my stomach so i can take ibuprofen, but it also helps with heartburnish issues.

Hi Shannon, I took prilosec for 3 months post-op then didn't have to take it anymore.  I took it for a short time again before they figured out it was my gallbladder bothering me.  I started taking some pepcid and it has helped some but I still have some prilosec.  I guess I just never experience heartburn before, if that is what it is it is quite painful.

I am so glad you are seeing the doc tomorrow.

Just to make sure you dont have a stone stuck in the bile duct or something, or working on an ulcer.

The symptoms I was having felt like I needed to eat something, but if I did, I didnt get any relief. I also was experiencing alot of restriction, couldnt eat or drink very much. Prilosec seemed to do the trick. I am already on pepcid twice a day for 6 months per surgeon's orders, along with actigall.

You are not a whiny baby! You are a LW Babee! Hang in there and feel better soon!

Thank you Maria, I am getting a lot of advise to take Prilosec so maybe that will end up taking care of it, I hope so!  I am also glad I am seeing the Dr. tomorrow.  Thank you!

 Sandi, please let us know what the doctor says tomorrow.  I hope you sleep well tonight.

You are so sweet, thank you Lee.  I went to my surgeon today and he doesn't feel like it is anything to do with my WLS.  He wants me to have my heart checked out.  I have a call in now to my Internal medicine Dr. 
Sandi

You are right to whine!!  Make sure you stay on top of this with your doctor until you find an answer/relief!  You have to be your own advocate......you know your body best and you know when something isn't right!

Take care!!!!

Thank you Peyton!  I appreciate your kind words and advice.
