endoscopy scheduled tomorrow.

Sep 30, 2009

I visted the surgeon yesterday and told him about the problems I am having with the vomitting and ability to only eat a little at a time before I am so full and then it all comes up.  He has scheduled an endoscopy for tomorrow.  He doesn't beliew it could be anything but will check.  I also have an upper Gi and xray scheduled for Monday, which means I won't be back to work that day.  It could be an ulcer or a stricture or it could be nothing, which is what the surgeon believes.  After speaking with one of the nurses that works with him this morning, it may be that I have become lactose intolerant.  I've been having stomach pains, nausea and vomitting.  I eat during the day and as I eat my stomach gets fuller and fuller and then finally it all comes up.  I hate the feeling of too full and everything sitting in my gullet.  It is a horrible feeling and I pace and wonder how to stop this feeling.  It happens with everything I eat.  I was doing so well and then this.  I'm so tempted to say the hell with it all and have major surgery to put it all back - but I'm really not up for that either.  I have to deal with what I have.  I am having some tenderness and pain in the lower right area where there is 'something' but not sure what that is.  Oh well, months from now I pray that all this will be past me and I'm on my way to a much happier life.  I'm off all my meds, which is good.  My back bothers me early in the morning, and when I sit too long.  I'm not sure I want any type of surgery ever again.  I've become quite squimish since this surgery.  I dread needles, doctors, hospitals, everything.  I'm running out of food that I can eat.  I've been following the doctors instructions, but at the same time, I eat something one week and 2 weeks later, I can't stand that food anymore.

Well, maybe we'll know more tomorrow, or not.  The surgeon still thinks everything that I complain about is in my brain.  I was so tempted to cancel the procedure tomorrow.  But I'd better not!  I don't want Dr. Shina mad at me anymore then he already is.  Once again, I've become a patient with problems.
