.At the doctors office, and found out that blood flow to my intestines is slacking but pouch is worse that is why my belly is always cramping and my entire abdominal area, my disc on the left side on my back is still inflamed so it messes with my sciatic nerve. Still not taking in Vitamins properly, and my Protein, they may have to have a tube inserted if it doest absorb soon. My gums are bleeding due to Vitamin Deficiency. Layed in bed most of the day yesterday then something happened, cold sweats, dizzy spell felt awful. For some reason something triggered me to eat a piece of candy and it went away then fell asleep but don't remember. Haven't slept for 3 days for a whole night just 2 hours here 3 hours there. So I am exhausted. All I can do is cry at the doctors office. But nothing can be done. Emotionally and physically broken down. But I push myself, put makeup on and try to look healthy although i feel like crap, can't wait to have A good month or week.

Is there anything they can do to fix the blood flow problem? Cant you be seen at the base hospital or the va? You still have military insurance through your husband right? What hospital er have you been to? I use mountainview on tenaya. Is your doctor at least giving you Vitamin shots?

I was getting Vitamin shots then my hormonal doctor moved so I have been waiting. 4 months later they decide to tell me they are taking tricare prime no longer reserve Select. He was one of my best doctors that listened besides my pain management doctor. So went to my primary and they are sending me to OBGYN which I never heard they can give Vitamin and testosterone shots. I went to spring valley hospital. My Gastric doctor scheduled an emergency revision. When I got in there the ulcers weren't heald and the swelling was bad where my intestines and pouch connect. He said I could die, the Sutures wouldn't hold neither would staples. Due to the swollen tissue. And I don't have enough to cut out. So it got canceled. I fired him for allowing it to get so far beyond fixing at that time. I am still needing a revision but I am trying to avoid it, my ulcers are due to acid reflex The Military ER had to figure it out, then my Gastric doctor tried to swoop in and tried to seem like a Hero. He ruined my enjoyment of this RNY. If I get a revision and I get more ulcers or swelling due to irritation from acid they will take my pouch out along with my old stomach and put my small intestines directly to my esophagus. And I am trying to avoid this. I am scared, and tired and stuck in the house. And just continue to get negative news. And all my appointments even with tricare reserves made us broke. I am fighting for my 2 son's against my ex, I have a 7 year old autistic with ADHD, a 17 year old step son I stood by through heart surgery and 2 knee surgeries while my husband was always gone during active duty. I was on the phone when my husbands camp was attacked in Afghanistan and his best friend died. I got this surgery due to almost having a stroke while raising 2 kids fighting for my other 2, my 17 year old 3 surgeries for my son (step son) and my husband almost dying. Now I am taking care of my 17 year old still fighting my ex while caring for my ADHD/Autistic and my Veteran husband with PTSD. I can't be outside more than 30 min. Can't work, can't work out, I can clean an hour at a time then sleep, if I go to the beach or stay in the heat to long black out or sleep for 3 days at a time. I envy those who surgeries was successful. But everything happens for a reason, just waiting to see what my reason is for.. And pray everything eventually work out.

Where is messaging At? My husband was so nice yesterday after my appointment we finished errands and came home so I can nap, woke up at 7pm and my hubby wanted to go out so I dressed up and we went to the movies watched lights out, got an anxiety attack from the movie. Lol. Then we walked around casino inside and out and, it cheered me up. It felt so good to just get out, I told him I want to do this more often. But we where out from 9:30 till a little past midnight. But I slept most of today. But going out it was worth a mini crash. My messenger doesn't work, it says admin has to update..thank you. Tried seeing a psychologist, 2 of them said they can't help me because my depression and other stress related issues has to do with RNY, I have to find a psychologist that is familiar with the RNY issues I am having. They say I am good it isn't a mental that he understands what I was saying. I told my hubby he is so lucky he goes to the gym, plays Basketball 2-3 times a week, gets to go shooting for 5 hours with his family and friends. I can't go, due to the heat, shade and umbrella doesn't work. I still get heat exhaustion and dehydrated. He can take kids to park and I can't unless it is really late. He doesn't understand because he hasn't experienced it, just as I haven't experienced his PTSD from being a combat medic in Afghanistan I can see him struggling sometimes but I can just comfort him. As he does to me.

It was a bigger sacrifice than expected::

I got to go to Laughlin yesterday, and I sacrificed my health to see my family have fun, it was a lot hotter than expected I only stood in the Water for 10 minutes then back in the shade but the wind was like a blow dryer, it didn't matter how much I sipped I couldn't get enough Water. I did good till night fall that is when I started. Wanting to vomit, horrible headache, weak, shook while I walked. I looked like a 90 year old woman. I cried so hard today because everything hurts and is cramping up. It got to bags of IV, but hubby may take me to ER if I don't feel better in a couple hours. I am eating beef egg wonton Soup now. My husband is an LPN but also a combat medic through army so they give him supplies he needs for my IT's. Doctor signed a form to give me the IV when needed since the ER wait takes so long and he has seen me in this condition. I hate it but I getvso tired of not being a part of my families outing.

Is duke a doctor or a medical facility. Is it in Vegas, or California?

Sent from my SM-N910T3 using the BariatricPal App

Yes, Duke Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery is in Durham, North Carolina (near Raleigh). They have 5-6 fantastic, permanent surgeons (who are also professors of surgery at Duke), and they also have a year-long fellowship program where they accept less than 6 doctors/fellows a year and give them a very intensive education on Bariatric Surgery. These fellows then go on to be leaders in the field.

These are not surgeons who took a weekend workshop on these procedures and began practicing (believe it or not, that happens and is totally legal).....at Duke they eat, sleep, and breathe bariatric surgery.

Whoever you work with, ask if they are fellowship-trained. You want that level of commitment and study.

Today is day 3 of recovery and i am doing better, didn't sleep well. For some reason my kegs cramp up in a position to where i can't close them or open them. The Doctor called it night terrors. It is so painful to wake up and you can't move due to being stuck. Happens a lot, but last night was painful. But other than that I am good, I am laying back down for 2 hours so I will be prepared for the kids to come home. And hope not to nap anymore today. ????. Thank you for your thoughts and checking in on me.
