Thanks, I just was looking for more ideas. The surgeons office said I am doing fine. They suggested mashed potatoes because my stomach was getting upset and it has been working....

Joy - you are a source of knowledge : )...
Thanks - drank a little too much at a time for a meal today and understand why I need to keep it small. I will and thanks for all the good advice!...
Hi all, I had my surgery and am out of the hospital. I ended up leaving after two days as I was having problems with nausea. I feel much better today....
Ok. I found the America Gastroentrologist Association site, but I can't figure out where on the site they have the list of surgeons....
Hi all, I talked to the surgeons office today. They will do the surgery as outpatient, however, if they feel it is medically necessary for me to stay longer,they will bump me up to inpatient. What...
From what I can see I have lost this battle. The doctor won't change from inpatient to outpatient the hospital won't work out anything on the bill, the insurance company won't budge and my GI doctor...
I am so upset over this. I am going to call the surgeon on Monday. His nurse said he would not agree to my only staying there for 23 hours, I want to hear from him. I figured I will cancel the...
They tried. Bottom line I would have to fight it after....
My surgery is on Monday, March 8th and will be done via laproscopic. My insurance company won't budge per my doctors office. My surgeon won't do it as outpatient. He is one of their participating...
Hi, I am scheduled to have this surgery next week as an inpatient procedure. I just found out today that my insurance company will only approve it as an out patient procedure. My surgeon says he will...
couchtater - was your laparoscopic?...
Hi, I am scheduled for my surgery in two weeks. I have had so many tests the last year it feels good to finally get this part done. I have had three endoscopys, two gastric emptying studies, the...
I do cut and see that type of thing when I am getting depressed or am depressed. I'm not sure why you are seeing it, unless it's like cutting in your head and it's enough for you to either reduce the...
letmebe - I am so happy I inspired you. Maybe thats what we need to do is inspire each other. It seems so hard to do it all alone. You made me smile for the first time today....
Well, I went to church today. It was wierd. Alot less people there than had attended before. I walked in with a father and daughter. I had worked with the father with youth activities in the past. He...
[color=blue>I] The last time I took my meds was the end of July. The day after the last time I spoke to my therapist. She was on medical leave and something deep inside told me I would never see her...

My therapist did make arrangements for a new therapist (a friend of hers) who I have seen now three times I think. The first couple times I really didn't talk about much and certainly not about...
Thank you all so much. I will give the new T a chance. I guess I just don't understand why this has hit me so hard....
My therapist died this past week. I have been seeing her for about a year and a half. I think she is the only person I let in to the point that I did. This has really hit me hard. It was unexpected....
I have been taking Cymbalta for a few months now. It seems to have helped for the most part alot. I do get the "surges" as well, but got them on other anti-depressants before anyway. Things at work...
Your body is trying to tell you something. I wouldn't just brush it off. I would listen to it and try and determine what it is trying to tell you. When that happens to me, it is usually for a reason....
Sorry I let you down again...
Her body now transformed into a light powdery ash; Light and dark gray light silky ash; Poured into the wind, it moved quickly, silently; Dead, she was more alive than ever; In the city with it’s...
Thanks for writing. I enjoy hearing from you. No. I have never been too good at writing. My daughter is the writer in the family. I am just giving it a try to let some feelings out in an arena where...
Brownleaf - I hear what you are saying. I will work on putting my effort into positive things. Until then how about halfway: Who Am I? I am a girl whose mother gave her up for a man A girl who who no...

I take Cymbalta and so far it is working well....
Thanks so much for your responses. I am going to a therapist who has helped me so much. I guess there is just so much going on and an hour goes by so fast. My family is all in other states...I...
Just received a letter from the school. They say they are having behavioral problems and my son has been skipping school. Seems to be mainly 1st period. I emailed them to set up a meeting to discuss...
I] My son (fifteen) is now living at his dads (his choice). I pick him up everyday from school so I see him at least once a day. He does not want to go to school and does everything he can to avoid...
I am sorry you are having such a tough time. I have a similiar problem with worthless feeling and not being able to accept the good things others say about me. It seems to be a core belief. I don't...
Hi all, Just wanted to post an update. I talked to my therapist about how I have been feeling and she really feels A) I need to go back on medicine B) I have to give myself a break that I have...
I also am not a fan of medicine. The thing is you really need to use it when you get as low as you sound like you are. I would call your general doctor if you don't have a psychiatrist to explain...
Thank you both. You gave me alot to think about. I know I have to find the strength somewhere to do just what Ed said. I actually have set some goals for myself and I am taking a class in school...
Thanks so much to you both. So much of what both of you say sounds the same as what I experienced. I guess it's just hard to see his pain. I will not get back together with him, I just don't know if...

This is an interesting topic. I only went out for 6 weeks last year for depression and felt like I had to go through loops. With depression reoccuring, I've wondered what would happen if I applied....
Thanks innocence. I appreciate your comments and somehow it feels better knowing there are other people out there that understand. I'm sorry to say I have been falling away from God for awhile. I...
thetiger - My favorite animal is tigers. Thanks for your understanding. I guess if I didn't *** myself I would think it was pretty wierd. It's so much a part of me know, it's normal to me, but not. I...
I haven't visited this site for a while. Guess I start coming by when I'm really hurting and don't know where else to go. I have so much pain inside. My therapist is trying to help, but sometimes it...
Since he's been home from school he's been doing very well, I hope it keeps up. At any rate I will do what I need to do, as you say I don't want any regrets about this later and don't want anyone to...

I feel like this is my fault. I knew how my husband treated him, yelling and taking his anger out on him all his life, and I didn't do anything about it until a few months ago. It's just too late. I...
Almost gone, I wish I could pick you up and take you away from all this. I know how horrible it can be. I got to a point where I just wanted to take off and run, and run and run. I know the feeling....
