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.
