Six months out

May 01, 2009

I continue to be nauseated and vomit way too much.  I have tried all sorts of anti nausea meds, none of which have worked.  Yesterday I had an endoscopy procedure and the doctor  stretched my esophagus and pylorus.  He is not confident that will fix my problem, but it is the first step.  I posted about this on the DS forum and had several responses about others who experienced the same thing.  It sounds like I am just one of the unlucky ones, but that it will eventually go away.

On the positive side, I have lost 116 pounds.  I am 221 and can wear 16/18 pants and 14/16 tops.  Buying clothes is so much nicer!  The only problem is I hesitate to spend very much on things that I will not be able to wear before long.

Even with my nausea problems, I am still VERY GRATEFUL I had the DS!  My back hardly hurts at all and my knee is getting better.  What a difference 100 lbs. makes!!
