Revision already?!

[Trixie_]

I’m 4 months post op Sadi procedure (they called it Modified DS, but apparently that’s not entirely accurate) and 30 days after, I began waking up in the night choking on vomit.

I realized it was bile and contacted the office the next morning. It took 3 months of this for them to take it seriously enough to get me back in for an endoscope, only to tell me what I’d been telling them all along, it’s bile reflux.

I’m on ursodiol, and it’s miserable. My stomach is constantly burning and I’m always exhausted. Thank god I can be a stay at home mom, because I can’t imagine leaving the house feeling like this on a regular basis.

Anyway, apparently this happens occasionally with my particular surgery and they told me that a revision to the regular DS was the fix.

It’s so frustrating to think about having to jump all the hoops and come up with all the copays all over again so soon, but I can’t imagine continuing in my current state much longer either.

Anyway, I have no one to talk to about this, so I appreciate this site giving me a place to say it.

I feel like my family sacrificed so much to pay for me to have the surgery only for it to cause problems that we have to pay them yet again to fix.

I wish they’d have just done the regular DS to begin with.

I'm sorry this happened to you, Trixie. I hope it all gets resolved soon for you. I wonder if finding another surgeon would be beneficial if this surgeon is not as supportive or caring as they should be for you. Keep being your best advocate.
