Don't know how much more I can take

So I been suffering for the last few weeks. I believe I have a stricture but my dr does not deal with them so I was referred to her partner. I was suppose to see him on Tuesday but after sitting in the office for 2 hrs my husband was called to work and I had to reschedule for tomorrow. In the mean time I'm surviving on Water and water alone. Last night I had a bad episode of heartburn so I toke my omeprazole and just laid in bed till I passed out at 3 am. Well around 5 this morning I woke up choking and vomited all over myself and my bed. I was home alone as my husband works third shift. I had a major break down. I ended up having to strip my bed and wash sheets at that time. After that I went into the shower and cried for 30 mins.

I don't know how much more I can take of this. I spent all day today sick and dry heaving. I could barely cook my catering orders ( yes I cook for friends as a side business) and just want to sleep all day. Also my heartburn is back and I just want to dig a hole a disappear. I have lost 60 lbs but at what cost?

I'm getting so depressed and just really don't know how much I can take.

You should NOT be having to deal with this. None of this is normal. And your surgeon/surgeon's office refusing to take care of you- that's unacceptable. You could have aspirated the vomit and ended up in very, very bad shape. You need to make it clear to your surgeon's office that something is VERY wrong and you need to be seen ASAP, like tomorrow. Not next week. And if they don't listen, insist. Go to the ER if you need to.

I have also been having a really horrid time. Stricture has been ruled out so they have changed my meds for stronger anti sickness and anti acid. They have also put me back on liquid Soups and Protein drinks only. This is now day 6 of the new meds and everything seems to have settled, surgery was on November 7th, I now have a endoscopy booked for the January 9th.

All this took place due to the support I was given by my GP, who also put pressure on the bariatric team, have spend nearly 3 weeks out if the last 6 all in hospital.

Keep up the pressure on the doctor who did your surgery, in fact if you can go there in person so they have to help you.

I promise you one thing it does get better, its hard very hard the journey but you will get there. God Bless and I pray that things will be get well for you

That's great news at least you know what has gone wrong, mine was caused by dumping which is now controlled by medications. You are now in the right place, praying for a speedy recovery for you.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
