Well first off i want to say a MASSIVE thankyou to Liz for her massive support over the last few days, Shes been a star.... xx
Well since october, things havent been brilliant for me (hence not coming here much) I have suffered lots of vomitting with blood in after eating and it got to the point of what went down came back up within a few mins, sloppys, crunchys, pureed fluids too, After feelign such a failure and a waste of Nhs time, effort and money, i finally took the plunge to email my Bariatric nurse and basically confess all. Ive also asked for a band conversion to a Bypass, as the band isnt for me i dotn feel. Weather i will get the extra funding for a Bypass i dont know, Its a waiting game.
I had a appointment today for the nurse to take out around 2mls, i got there and had a good long chat with her and then she tried to do a de-fill, She couldnt! My port has always been a utter cow to work with, She had put in a urgent request for the barium de-fill, this should be within a few weeks
She advised me to basically stick to fluids, and she actually said ice cream, milkshakes, anything that will slop down without a prob and most definaltey as many meal replacements i can manage to keep up the vitamins i need etc and what im serverely lacking right now.
Im very swollen and very very grazed inside hence the very very limited things i can manage to get down me.
I know i havent done myself any favours what so ever leaving it so long to let her know, but i honestly thought it was self error and the acid prob,
Even swallowing my acid tabs are hard work at times, and i cant manage fluids till around mid day.
Am feeling very drained, fed up, emotional and a failure. I hate knowing that my kids have seen me way too many times rushing to the toilet after a few mins of eating, :cry:
Sorry for such a negative post, but its back to basics again near on like square one.
I wont be able to have a fill again for at least 4-6 weeks after not struggling to eat 3 solid meals a day, and that will be around 2-4 weeks time for that to happen and the swelling etc to settle,
Im not going to give up, Like im not thinking im defianltey having a bypass, Infact im thinking the oppersit, that it wont happen..
I send the nurse a long email from the heart on how i was exactley feeling etc and shes forwarded it on to the consulant lady who decided on surgery.
I hope things can only get better from here, However i know its a long long road ahead and with the possibility of the band being totally de-filled if need be
Love to all xxxx
