I Want Answers Now!



Recommended Posts

I just need to complain. I am such an impatient person as it is. But really I am tired of waiting to find out why I am stuggling to eat, it's just not natural to take a bite of food and be stuffed. I want to know why I burp ALL day long now. I want to know why I didn't have this issue until 10 months out?! And really, tonight, I want to know why my sleeve is on fire enough though I didn't eat anything super spicy and I took both my Nexiums and my Zantac yet my sleeve is being a mean jerk and causing me pain tonight *sigh* This feeling sucks. There isn't a nicer way to put it :/ And of course I have been reading up more on H Pylori, since that is what the drs assume is my issue and well the medications used for it intimidate me, it seems a lot of people have side effects from the meds and well that annoys me. UGH!

The last month has just been crappy and I'm ready for it to get better, too many deaths, too much drama and now too much pain. IT SUCKS!

Ok, I'm done complaining. For now anyways ;)

How long are they making you wait? Are there other tests they can you for? I hope they treat you the way you deserve to be treated after all you've been through - like a queen!!!

I wish they would treat me like a queen ;) I don't see the doctor til Friday. They said I had to wait at least 2 weeks for the results from the biopsies and that puts me at 2 1/2 weeks :/

My husband just had a problem with H pilory. He had to take an antibiotic for 10 days. You may need to do that to get your problem under control.

If it is h pylori then take the meds. I was positive when they tested me and I had to take 2 rounds of the meds to get rid of it. If you have any other questions please email me.

I sure hope that if it is h pylori it fixes these issues because it's really starting to get to me and I'm starting to feel like a freak again with the way I have to eat now :/ Thanks.

Well I finally saw my surgeon again and still no answers :/ The biopsies all came back fine. So all we know is I have gastritis. The kink I have in my sleeve might be the cause of my issues though, which is why revision is STILL on the table :( Normally a sleeve is banana shaped, mine is L shaped though. My body clearly has issues. Anyways, I have an Upper GI this week though and will see my surgeon again after that to decide what needs to be done.

On a good note he really feels he can get my panniculectomy covered, I have years worth of medical records showing issues from the excess skin, long before even considering WLS. If I need a revision the plan is to do both at the same time so at least it's only one time going under but talk about painful!

Hopefully the Upper GI gives me answers and a non surgical fix.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
