Upper GI and something else on Thursday morning
No, I don't expect it to show anything... just another test to show the surgeon that the only thing taht si going to help us resolve this is to go in and SEE (and get rid of!) the adhesions and whatever else might be going on. I just cannot continue to live with this pain, and I am SO sick of people looking at me like I have lost my mind when I tell them that things in one area of my belly FEEL TIGHT when I move certain ways. I think that THEY think I cannot tell the difference between the tightness of my muscle from the TT (TWO years ago!) and a deeper tightness (and PAIN).

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

You know, I had a lot of nausea for a long time and they couldn't figure out why and I think they thought I was nuts. Finally I saw a GI doc that diagnosed gastroparesis and prescribed meds that helped incredibly. But I thin****il then, the docs I saw thought I was a hypocondriac or something because they didn't see anything wrong. Plus, they prescribed zofran, and seemed to think it was somehow my fault if that didn't help my nausea.
