Good luck. While that is scary at least you have something to go on now. After this is all over you need to write a letter to that team member of his that turned her back on you and walked away. She needs to know that she treated you like garbage and ignoring your condition could have caused something very bad to happen. I hope you have a complete and very speedy recovery.

Anymore updates? Ive been going through similar pain for months, I suffer from kidney stones and every time I’m in this pain and get sent to hospital they scan me for it and send me home when they don’t find one under the same predictions- that I’m an opioid seeker which I’m not. I’m in constant pain on my lower left side. It’s a throbbing most days and others it’s a stabbing pain. I’m even sensitive to the touch if someone were to push on it. It’s been horrible. My surgeon sent me to get a colonoscopy which came back clean w the exception I have diverticulosis but it’s not bad at all he said. Shouldn’t be causing the pain. He did mention getting my stomach looked at for scar tissue build up?? That it could be what’s causing my pain. At this point I’m just back to the drawing board. But it’s horrible knowing your in pain and everyone doubt you. Btw I’m 3 years out post surgery.

      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.
