Take advantage, great for gift giving! unbearable pain! Hi all For the past few days I've been having literally UNBEARABLE pain in my abdomen. My OB doesn't seem to understand that it's unbearable - merely uncomfortable. She isn't familiar with wls and I'm her first patient with it. I had gone to a GI doc in my first trimester with similar symptoms and he finally concluded it was stretching of the scar tissue from the rny surgery in 2002. He had done tons of tests - whatever he could do on a pregnant woman - and finally concluded thus. The pain has come back now but in the 9th month it is now much worse than ever before. It brings tears to my eyes and I end up wailing. I'm into my 37th week and I swear I can't go until 40 weeks or whenever this baby decides to come. My OB had asked me if I had wanted a C-section since my first birth was via c- section. I had said no that I was going to try for a VBAC. Well at this point I'll take the C-section - just make the pain stop!!!!!! I called her today to tell her and now she won't do it because " I'm not far enough along " ! What?! At this point I think this baby could survive just fine outside of me. My physical and mental health are now at stake and she seems to think I'm just " uncomfortable " like anyone else in the 9th month. Tomorrow I'm calling all the OBs on my insurance to see if they have experience with wls patients and I'm going to go see one and maybe even switch at this late stage! No one should have to writhe in pain for hours upon hours!! I also have my doc's appt tomorrow and so I'm going to tell her all this as well - maybe to her face she'll comprehend it better. I'm bringing hubby with me also (I don't usually) and so he'll help get the point across I hope. I'm at such a loss of what to do....no one is taking me seriously!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I made tons of phone calls to other OBs yesterday but none would take me this late in the game - understandable I guess. I went in to my OB appt today and thank God she gave me some Vicodan! I hope it works! It better - for her sake! Grrrrr!!! Here it is 3:23am and I'm up with the pain (didn't get a chance to fill my prescription because it was late). I have to be up around 6:30am so I'm not a happy camper. And now I have started swelling up....I guess it was finally bound to happen. The scale said 10 pounds heavier!! I nearly fell off!! I'm pretty sure it's the water weight but still..... it freaks me out!! *sigh* What a day.....
