unbearable pain!

[Guest guest]

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!!!!!!!!!!!
