Justine I'm so sorry to hear you don't have physician support. When I was throwing up everyday with neasua the only thing that helped me was IV anti neasua medicine. I was finally put on home IV...

I read on Mayo Clinics website you can get it from having Bariatric surgery. He hasn't come out and said that because his partner did my sleeve procedure.

I had the same thing, wasn't too dizzy but got very light headed, started sweating and felt like I was going to pass out. Went to my primary and had some tests done in the office. She said my oxygen...

I did really well 2 months post sleeve surgery. Then the nausea and vomiting started. Everything I set and drank I threw up. It got to the point I didn't eat for 5 weeks. In and out of the hospital...

I've been doing pretty good. I can't complain too bad. I'm sorry to hear your pain is coming back.
Laurie

I'm doing really well with my RA. Haven't taken steroids in 2 years. My dr started an Orencia infusion once a month at the hospital. The infusion only takes 30 minutes.
Laurie

Yes Orencia is a biological drug.

That is crazy that the pain dr won't give you pain meds. What are you suppose to do? I would be really mad. Did the pain dr try injections?

Laurie

My surgeons's office and hospital was willing to make payments. I would contact them to make payment arrangements? I was really lucky that my surgery was covered in full.
Laurie

Nora sunshine,

Yes I did have fun. No birthday cake for me this year. I didn't even miss it.

Thanks!
Laurie

Oh you are having your surgery on my birthday! Hope you are feeling good.

I would encourage you to get up and walk while you are in the hospital. Also remember to take sips of water and make sure you drink enough water. Protein is also very important.
