I DONT KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO DO THIS

January 31, 2004

i had my surgery on 12/29/03 and i am really not doing well at all.

i go to the dr on monday and i have alot of questions for him but i

was wondering if any of you can help me. let me tell you whats wrong

then i will ask away. they found a hernia when operating and i dont

know if this is why i get so sick all of the time. i tried eating

moist chicken. worked for a couple days. tried it again, cant go

down at all. i chew right and take small bites. it can be on the

first bite or the most i have gotten was 3, and i have to throw up or

else it feels like my chest will explode. the same thing happened

with eggs. i can eat beef. dont get sick from that yet but i ate

some turkey and i admit it probably wasnt the right choice because it

was spicy. i felt a slight urge to vomit but i couldnt. about a

hour later i had sharp stabbing pains in the upper part of my

abdomen. this lasted about an hour before i had to call 911. i

couldnt breathe and i could hardly walk to the door. after they

hooked me all up the pain stopped and i could breathe. the paramedic

said i probably had a diaphramic spasm. im miserable all of the

time. i dont know if it is from gas pains or what but i can just

drink water and feel sick to my stomach.

has anyone who had a hernia felt the same way with the vomiting?

anyone even know what a diaphramic spasm is and if they had it?

anything to take for gas?

anyone sick all the time?

thanks
