Alright. Back in the ER again. And on my three month surgiversary. Yay me. Same pain. I took a painkiller but still want to get checked out. Went to a different hospital this time instead of the one I went to the last two times... As I feel they didn't really care or believe me. Need to get this figured out. Hoping for a new opinion. I'll update this when I get more information.

Oh, I hope they find what's wrong. I went to another hospital. When my pains started the first time. The shipped me back to my surgery hospital. I was hot. They ran test pump me up with pain meds. And shipped me by ambulance . The gallbladder pills helped me. After, that happen. The next week which was last week. Shortness of breath. I drove myself 30 mins to the hospital. I knew the close hospital would ship me again. My liver enzymes were high . I end up getting a blood transfusion last week. I was release last Sat.

<br />Sincerely<br /> Z

They sai they are going to do blood tests but that's it. They said they are going to check different things in blood but not do any other kinds of tests because I've pretty much had every test possible done to me already and they don't think they are going to figure out what is wrong with me tonight. So I will do the blood test but I guess from now until the gastro doc I will just have to suffer through anything.

It was a slug I hope im saying it right in my gallbladder and pancreas titis . The medication helps. I take it twice a day. No more pain. The doctor had them to run a ct scan and ultrasound and blood work.

The er last week told me my liver enzymes were elevated. The doctor came by that day and said everything looked find. I guess the er was lying. I was admitted. I was also dehydrated. All they did for my gallbladder and pancreas was give me antibiotics and pain meds.

<br />Sincerely<br /> Z

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
