These posts are bittersweet to me.  As I kept reading, I had to fight tears.  FINALLY I don't feel so crazy!!!!  I So bear with me, I know this is long. I had my surgery in September 2016.  I finally felt pretty good in mid Dcember and I was excited to just get my life back.  Let me preface this by saying I was/am EXTREMELY obese and the surgery made me so sick that I lost 100 pounds in 3 months.  So the weight loss was a blessing.  The surgery was due to a precancerous polyp that was at the opening between the small and large intestine and had to be performed ASAP before a bowel obstruction developed. Moving on... January, Friday the 13th, I woke up and I felt AWFUL.  I was horribly nauseated and constipated.  I spent the weekend the same and unable to have a bowel movement.  I went to my PCP that Monday and I was MISERABLE.  I was told after surgery not to rely on anti-diarrheal meds or any constipation meds only the powdery stuff you mix with water and drink, I can't remember the name.  So I went to her.  I felt that there was an issue pertaining to the surgery.  She did an X-Ray and scheduled a CT scan for Wednesday.  Another was scheduled for the following Monday.  The surgeon's office called and he wanted me to come in ASAP.  So when I went in he told me that he thought I had ovarian cancer that had spread into my stomach lining.  I don't remember much after that.  Since then I have had 3 ultrasounds, 2 CT scans, a CA-125 blood test that I assume was ok because they never called me, and a multitude of blood work again and again.  I do have ovarian cysts, 1 of which is 5 cm.  However, the gynecologist told me he had seen much bigger that didn't cause the symptoms I claim to be so severe.  I was embarrassed that I was so weak.  There are days, maybe even an entire week that I'm ok.  But the days that I'm not, oh boy! I have missed so much work, been in so much pain,  taken enough phenergan for an army and NOTHING has worked.  I have nausea EVERY SINGLE SAY.  I bloat so much that it hurts but the drs think it's just my fat! I'm well acquainted with my fat and it is not that!  It comes and goes.  Also I have gained and lost 20 lbs in a matter of a couple of weeks SEVERAL times since January.  I can eat nothing and still gain 2 or 3 lbs overnight and they don't believe that either.  I've been too embarrassed to go to the ER but have felt so bad I KNEW something was wrong.   The pain is around my incision and below like several others have stated.  The gynecologist treats me like I am a bother.  Every test result comes back and the cysts are still there and unchanged.  But I'm still so miserable.  Now I see I am not alone!!!!!  I have my follow up colonoscopy on Wednesday and it's the first time I EVER looked forward to it just in hopes to find an answer.  It looks like that may not happen.  But at least I know I am not alone.  Thanks everyone,  I guess we're in this together, unfortunately.
