Just do not understand what in the hell these doctors are doing with Lizzie. She just keeps being passed around from hospital to hospital. Why cant they just keep her somewhere and find out what the...
Hello all! Lizzie all you need to know is that we are all still here for you and will always be. I think about you literally every day! Wondering how you are and just wishing that you could feel...
Ok girls, I need your help. I have been having these intermintant, painful cramps today. And my belly looks like it is four months prego. It is also quite firm when I push in on it. Dont know if I...
Hello, dear friends! Just checkin in on all of you. I have been training for a race that is coming up in September so I have been very busy. So far I can run about four miles without stopping. But,...
Allie, is your doctor going to try any meds for the gastroparesis? I would stay away from the reglan as it is an awful drug. The domperidone has been my life saver. I have also started taking a...
Boat, so great to hear you are doing well. Just walk, walk, and walk some more. It gets easier each day. By day 7 I was walking the halls of the hospital very well. I have 2 inches of colon left...
Yeah, I am so happy to hear that Lizzie is doing well. I hope she only continues to do so and get stronger each day. I am still feeling great. The domperadone has been my miracle drug. My GI told me...
Hi my friends, how has everyone been? I cant remember what I updated you all on last time. I started Reglan three weeks ago and it was terrible!! OMG, I felt like committing suicide after day three...
Boat, at first my bms were about 15 to 20 a day. And I was holding at that up until about six months ago and they have dramatically slowed. Now I really strain to have a bm and I usually just take...
Hello all my sweet friends. Still hanging in there with pain and nausea. I have drastically changed my diet to see how I respond. I eat cereal for breakfast and lunch and yogurt much of the other...

Hey Jenn, I also have an endoscopy scheduled for next week and also wonder why?? I really doubt anything will come of it. I was also diagnosed with gastroparesis last year. But I was never put on any...

Jen, so sorry to hear you will have to go through another surgery. But I guarantee you you will love your hysterectomy. I had one six years ago also done through the abdomen. That was hard to...
Good morning everyone! Why is it that I can never sleep in when I can? I just dont get it. I have been up since six this morning and cant go back to sleep. I think I will get out and go for a walk....

Just doing a quick checkin. Talked to the victim coordinator today and Jason has a lot of support coming to this hearing. I told her she better make sure she has a lot of security there. It is going...
Hodaya, well this lovely citizen will be up for parole in exactly a week. Which means he will go in front of a parole board and they will decide if he gets out or has to serve more time. But, he can...
Dang, Hodaya, I cant believe your boss is being such an a hole!! It is so hard for us to live day to day, worrying about what we eat and how its going to affect us, and then for this guy to be such a...

Hi everyone! Leslie so good to hear from you. It has been awhile since you have been on. Welcome to all the new people. All of us here are great friends and invite you into this great group. Jen,...
Hi everyone! Have not been on here forever. I have been extremly busy this summer and have recently got a new puppy on top of everything else. This summer has been an extremly hard one. I have had...
I gals, so doctor is pretty sure that I have some kind of autoimmune disease. Got a shot of cortizone in my buttocks, as he called it, and it is still so sore. Took some bloodwork and will find out...
Hodaya-so happy for you!! I cant believe you had already posted. I hope this gives you a new outlook on life. Do you think this surgery was easier than the last?? Talked to Lizzie yesterday via text...
Hi all my dear friends! And welcome Carly! I have been going like crazy the last month or so. We have been on two camping trips, a lot of dirtbike riding, fishing, and hiking. It has been so great to...
Just checkin in with everyone. I am leaving town for a few days and wanted to see how everyone was doing. Tracy, hope you are getting better with each day! Hodaya, good luck with your upcoming...
Hey val, thanks for the laugh today about the parade. Just got a mental picture which was quite humorous....
Monday, wow Tracy, that was quick on a surgery date. You will do great. I also threw up a lot with those damn bowel prep drinks. The last one I had to do they made me drink it in the waiting room....
Hey gals, Tracy, I totally understand your "obsession" with pooping. I also believe that I am obsessed and that all the laxatives I take also affect the small bowel. But if I dont take them I do not...
Hey everyone, just checking in on everyone. Been keeping in touch with Lizzie and am so anxious like everyone else for her to just get better. She is just so young to be going through so much. I am...
Rosemary, I have been seeing a Massage Therapist for about six months now. Yesterday she suggested we do an abdominal massage to break up the adhesions. She could feel a lot of them and massaged them...
Hey Tracy, hope you are feeling well after those wisdom exts. That is the funest procedure I love doing as a dental assistant. Not so much fun for the patient though. Hope you are healing quickly. So...

Janie-No I do not have pelvic dysfunction. At least I do not think so. I do not have a GI doctor. I am wondering if I need to go see one just so I can stay on top of things. I never had a GI doc just...
Janie, actually you sound identical to me. It just makes me worry that if we take the Miralax so much is our body going to get used to it and stop working? My doctor did warn me that my disease can...
Hey gals! went boating today and look like a lobster!! You would think I would learn to put sunscreen on! I just always worry about the kids and forget about myself. Did pretty well on the boat, had...
Hi everyone! Went on a small vacation with my hubby for a friends wedding so have not been around much. Just quickly skimmed through all the posts. Does not sound like many of you are doing very...
That story just made me laugh, cuz I have had the same exact things said to me. Even when I went to the surgeon for my followup appt last month, he was shocked that I still have to take Miralax. The...
