Thanks everyone
I posted originally about the intolerance for
water. I thank you all so much for your input. Im not
happy that everyone feels this, but Im glad Im not
crazy. It really hurts to drink water, almost like it
turns to stone. I have printed all the messages and am
sending a nice little note to my surgeon telling him his
people skills need alot of work and that I am not crazy.
I will also expect a formal apology. he was a
brilliant surgeon but left me uneducated and does not make
it easy for me to discuss concerns with him. I was
sent home and told, "dont eat sugar" and that was it.
No support group, no follow up, no paperwork to
read, nothing. Ive learned everything right here on
this website. Thanks everyone

I appreciate the kind & encouraging words from
everyone. I went to my 1st post-op & I lost 9 pounds in a
week! I was on cloud nine until I had to stand up
again. OUCH! aside from that, my surgeon leaves a drain
in there for one week post-op & when he pulled that
out I thought I saw God! it hurt!!!!!!!!! so tired me
is going to go now. thanks again

I am going to call my surgeon tuesday morning
,and request a upper gi to make sure my staple line is
not broken. Thanks for the advise. I will let
everyone know what the results are ,since I have gained 20
lbs since Sept. When I got into a car accident and
broken my foot maybe that is why? Since I am not really
to get around hmmm.
