EXCITED TO SEE THE GI DOCTOR TODAY

[designgyrl]

How bad is it when your excited to see your GI doctor today so you can figure out what's going on with my stomach.  I see him at 3:15pm and then I'll be going to see my sister after that (sorry I don't know if I'm allowed to put that in) but I'm very excited to see the GI doctor to see if he can figure out what causing all the issues in my stomach.  Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers on this.  I appreciate you.  Tuck, Sherry, Bree, Sandee, Sara, Flower, Mary, Alison, Jaybay, Dontunderstand, and everyone else, a HUGE THANK YOU and hope you all have a pain free day!

Yeah, it's exploratory, the GI doctor is very concerned over the blood work and that I am still having so much pain in the abdomen area.  He wants to check my liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, and other organs I guess.  I just can't believe this is happening, and I'm just so upset right now and shocked.

Oh no!  I hope they are able to figure out what's going on.  It sounds like you have a good G.I. doc.  Can I ask what kind of surgery you are setting up?  Is it exploratory?  I know you have been going through a lot and this just doesn't help.  
I hope you can get some good rest and relaxation this evening and hopefully things will calm down soon.  You're in my thoughts and prayers, as is your family.

Everyone,

Thank you for the good wishes at the GI appointment.  Unfortunately things did not go very well.  It seems I may now have some sort of blood sugar problem as my blood sugar the last time they took it (without food or water) was 168. My thyroid level was 9.8 and my GI doctor has set me up for some further exploratory surgeries because he thinks I may have some sort of chronic pancreatitis, maybe a problem with my spleen, or liver.  We are not sure at this time, but I did schedule the surgery time today, and then I had to schedule a time for some additional blood work too.  We bargained about keeping me out of the hospital, because he felt that I could go back into the hospital for care, but I just don't think I can handle much more at this point.  So, I don't mean to upset any of you, but I"m going to keep this short, because I'm crying and can't see the computer screen very well.  IT just doesn't seem like I'm doing very well at the moment.  But thank you everyone, especially Tuck for  reading.

How did it go with your Gastroenterologist? I am sorry you are having so many medical issues. We know how difficult it can be to manage chronic pain and try to balance your life.

I hope you'll get some answers soon.

Peace,
