Is duke a doctor or medical facility? Is he in Las Vegas, Nv. Or California? Sent from my SM-N910T3 using the BariatricPal App Crissy79, my I ask who did your surgery? I am in the process of having sleeve done in Las Vegas. I hope you get a doctor that can get you through this. Prayers. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App I had my surgery on a military base in tacoma, washington. That's why no one will see me here. The doctor that did help me here I assume he felt I wasn't in danger but he was way wrong. My surgeon was wonderful in washington. My problem was I couldn't find doctors for my follow ups till 7 to 8 months out. But since we are not active Washington hospital won't see me. Sucks..

I am so sorry for all your pain and suffering. These kind of stories terrify me! And did you say you had 2 friends pass from gastric bypass? My prayers for hope are coming your way. I pray you get some answers and start to truly live your life. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App I thought I was getting better, then it got worse. It is scary, I think my body didn't or isn't accepting the surgery. But there are some positive portions others have had. Just look into all options, sad to say I wish I got the sleeve so nothing was rerouted. I would still have all my absorption. What they call little fingers in the stomach (cilia) it seperats the nutrients. BUT my intestines have issues to. I pray I get bether so I am not a prisoner in my home especailly during summer. Everyones body is different. Thank you for your prayers. I am just searching for answers to see if anyone has been diagnosed with these type of symptoms. Because I am scared, I won't lie. But look at everyones stories. I don't mean to scare you. But I have no doctors that can really help. So I am trying to search further. Sent from my SM-N910T3 using the BariatricPal App

I live in Las Vegas, these are the pain meds I am on. Doc said it is a high dosage, 50 mcg. They said it is like morphine being pumped every 4 hours in my system, I used to be on oxicodine but those are addicting so I asked for non pill forms since the ulcers hurt to swallow them every 4-6 hours.

I am not allowed to take anything other than tylenol, I get the liquid form because pills hurt. I have diverticulitis also had it before surgery and didn't know ibuprofen could cause a flare up, but my pain was only on my lower left side. Now my pouch and intire abdominal hurts, so I was put on Fentanyl Patches I switch every 3 days and Tylenol for the headaches. I took omeprazole for 1.5 years then they switched me to Nexium and ranitidine to control acid 300 mg. Total a day. I have been to 7 doctors now 6 since my gastric doctor failed me. Looking for new one. I eat cream of chicken soups, home made protein shakes with Protein powder, whole milk, Greek yogurt and banana with a little avocado. I eat q tablespoons of Peanut Butter on a half piece of toast, not my favorite. Lots of watermelon along with my Water, pedialight and G2 to try to stay hydrated. I tried to eat chicken my tummy don't like. But I can eat fish except salmon it is to dry, so I have to mix it with Soup tilapia is my favorite plus really soft, also tuna but can't eat to much due to Mercury. After 2 years this is all I can eat. I can't eat eggs anymore makes me sick. But I try to munch all day but sometimes my stomach or my sense of smell changes every week. I went on a Beans and added colby cheese. But bloated up to bad. So have to stay away for a while, it made me bloat horribly. I haven't had any cavities for 3 years before surgery 1.5 years after surgery I have 10 teeth that need fixing below the gum line. My last lab I was low on everything. So they said I am not absorbing Vitamins and protein properly. My last appointment with my doctor 1 week ago I broke down with horrible anxiety and asked him why he can't fix me. That's when they sent me to psychologist, he couldn't help so he sent me to someone to subscribe 40mg of celexa and .05mg of xanax. Thank you for the imput though. On the food photo mine is the tiny bowl before and after when I try to eat meat. I wait 30 min. Before and after to drink when I eat. The big belly is my bloating and the other one is how flat my tummy usually is. And my knees from my last fall they are still healing and my CT scan came back clear of any bleeding or bruising from hitting my head on the toilet. I just want my life back. I followed all the rules in the book I was given right before surgery with the weekly group meetings. I know 2 people who died one just turned 2 years out and the other was 1 year out.. so basically I am still sticking to mostly liquid stuff. And I eat prunes to keep soft stools I chew then spit out the stuff I know will get stuck. Sent from my SM-N910T3 using the BariatricPal App
