Guest guest Posted March 23, 2001 Report Share Posted March 23, 2001 Threre must be SOME, I know there are beaches around Lake Michigan, but it's just not the same! Give me Narraganssett Bay anytime!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Hi there graduates... My name is and I had my surgery on May 7th of 2001 almost 15 months ago. My highest weight was 349 and I was at 329 on the day of my surgery. I am now at 193. I am 5'8. I also have 2 sisters who have had the surgery as well and a brother that is just waiting final approval from his insurance company. Needless to say, our weight was in the genes so to speak. I am experiencing some problems lately although, they may be minor problems to some, they have really done a toll on me mentally. I have a rather large hernia to the right of my belly button and a little north of it as well. I have seen my surgeon about it and we are looking at this fall sometime for the repair and TT at the same time. I had a problem back in early April where I over did it on the exercising thing and got a horrible pain up and down my scar, which in turn made me stop eating out of fear. This in turn made me get acid relfux quite bad due to not having food in my stomach for the acid to attach to, hence the reflux pain. That took me about a month to get over, after finally realizing that my only problem was not eating often enough. That whole situation made me basically turn into a hypochondriac sp? I am terrified of my health and every single little ache and pain I feel. Over the last 2 weeks, I have had horrible " bubbles " which my dr attributed to me taking " augmentin " for a sinus infection and me getting a yeast infection right away from that. He thinks it is a build up of bacteria in the intestines from the antibiotics, which made sense to me somewhat, and he suggested eating yogurt once a day to help build the " good " bacteria back up. Well, I am now on " amoxicillian " the pink stuff for a sore throat and I am terrified yet again to get these bubbles. I had them yesterday for a few hours but they finally went away, today my problem is my scar is a little sore, which I thought at 15 months out is ridiculous, but it truly feels like muscle pain. I can't believe how this surgery has made my mind get so screwed up. I seen a psychologist back in April and he said I have obsessive compulsive disorder and wanted to put me on Prozac, well, I absolutely did not want to do that, so I have been trying to deal with it myself. BTC-Ypsilanti, Mi (where I had my surgery) has been absolutely wonderful with me coming up there all the time with one problem or another, they did several tests, including complete blood work, xrays of all the plumbing and ultrasound of gall bladder with everything being just fine and gall bladder being completely clear. I spend so much time " looking " for a problem and I hate that about myself. I am afraid of the gall bladder thing, a blockage of the intestines and anything else you can imagine to go wrong with me. I think my real problem is me knowing I have another surgery waiting for me with this hernia, and that terrifies me to death, I am scared of surgery itself, which I shouldnt be after the open rny I already had. I am hoping that someone with kind words of wisdom who is farther out than me can help me to see why this thinking is wrong....sorry so long :-)) R 349 highest 329 5-7-01 193 8-2-02 BTC Ypsilanti, Mi Dr Poplawski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
