They are seeing if the stones moved, passed or what they are doing

. Every time I see the doctor they say I look healthy. He said i look to good to have stones!? I maybe I don't wear the pain on my face. I have been in misery. At one point I thought being dead would be better than to continue to endure the pain. It's bad pain. I do NOT want to die, but the pain it's something else.

I was walking around with my leak. The doctor said there was no way I had a leak. I looked to healthy and I would be going home in an hour. Next thing I was rushed away for surgery.

:( well **** why did they go to med school if they have the ability to just look at someones face and can tell if something's wrong ! Idiot...

Don't mind them you know your body. And I think you have a very high pain tolerance. I would of felt like packing it in with much less!

Hang in there.

Hi!!

Things have been real rough. I had the two stents for six weeks. They were very hard to live with. The pain was unreal and lots of vomiting. I was going to day treatment everyday for five hours to get hydrated' date=' medication and nutrients. I am trying to learn to nourish my body by mouth. I still Go to day treatments, but every other day. I had my PICC line out. Now I have a mid line on place.

I was hospitalized again after the stents because Fluid had collected on my heart. So I was in the cardiac unit for a while. I have never had high blood pressure, but suddenly do.

My body is very sensitive to antibiotics. So I had to meet a infectious disease dr who would have access to strong enough antibiotics to treat the infection from the leak. I took these drugs for two weeks in the hospital and came home on them.

My body is very very weak. It's hard to walk up or down stairs. I keep trying, but my legs feel so heavy and ache. Like on the verge of Charlie horse.

Other stuff has gone on. Last week my surgeon told me I was asking stupid questions. I don't think I can handle anyone who isn't supportive. Kidney function was too low for a while. It's coming back.

I have lost a total of 60 pounds, but when I feel so emotional and crazy these numbers don't matter.

I will be allowed to have puréed foods when I no longer vomit and I can prove that I am able to get in 64 oz of Water a day and 85 g of Protein orally with no help. Not sure when this will be. I try so hard, but don't get too far. I get sick when I consume so its hard to get fluids and protein.

Things are progressing at a slow rate. Some days are better than others. I am really feeling lost and broken. Not sure what to do with myself.

How has your journey been? Did you have a leak?

Best,

Samnah[/quote']

Oh my God!!! I can't believe 1) all you've been through and 2) what a huge b*tch your surgeon must be. I never use that word but I want to find her and yell at her for talking to you like that! Unbelievable.

Honey you are so strong to be surviving this; the pain and frustration and lack of support. You must be an amazing person!

Really?? Did they say they are small enough to pass on their own?

I passed a smaller stone and I think it was two days ago when I thought dying was a good option. They say I can pass them. Take the meds and follow up with the nephrologist. Blah. What a waste of time.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
