Tamra sweetie, don't give up now. You sound terribly depressed and I just wanted to send you a cyber (((HUG))). Are there WLS support groups in your area that you can attend? Please come to Calif to have another surgeon find the cause of your pain. I'm praying for you and hope you are soon feeling better.

Girl you are so funny. I read your post today about wanting the scale to move. I feel the same as you. I am so near that century mark I can scream. I already have my dancing shoes on. But can't dance yet. I am at 96lbs loss. So I knew what you are feeling. By the way I have worn lighter clothes, no shoes,done bathroom thing, I even tried switching feet getting on. sometimes alittle bounce here or there. LOL Oh well, I guess we came this far we will go further. LOL You hang in there, can't wait to read your shout out when you have joined the century club. Take care. HUGS

Tamra I am a retired X-ray Tech and the black on a film is something that has no density like air or gas. I looked up seroma in my dictionary and could not find it. But absess is in there and is something to be concerned about. It could show up dark on the film as it could be a gaseous absess. As far as leaving rags (sponges) inside of patients that happens a lot believe it or not. They even sometimes leave in instruments and operate on the wrong side. Everything is done in surgery to avoid this. I have taken many x-rays to see if something was left in the patient before the patient is off the surgery table. The scrub nurses have to keep count of all sponges and instruments that are used and the count must come out right or the whole surgical team goes on the hunt for the offending object. Usually the sponge or instrument is found on the bottom of a shoe or under some of the surgical drapes. However sometimes they make mistakes and those are unfortunante. Please check with your surgeon about the CAT scan.. Maybe its just a pocket of bowel gas and you will get relief soon!!! Good luck

Tamra, thank you for your post about keeping focused on the right things. I'm very into "spirituality" (for lack of a better word) and it sounds like your experience was fabulous. I need you to bop me on the head the next time I get all down about losing slower than others!!!! Take care and congratulations on that weight loss!!!!!

Hi Tamra, I am sorry to hear that you are having a hrd time right now. Keep fighting, you know your body. I understand being upset with a doctor, I went through something similar 2 years ago with my PCP. Email me if you want to talk. God Bless,
