At my last visit with the Gastroenterology Clinic, the PA suggested I seek therapy. I scheduled with another internal surgeon and he suggested a motility study. I agreed but never heard back from him. My primary suggested I see him. He wanted me to schedule an esophageal widening. When I was in the hospital the 2nd time, I had to stay an extra day due to not being able to swallow. Tests showed food was stopping halfway down my throat. Anyway, I never heard back from him and I have just given up. I saw the internal surgeon twice that did my surgery. No diagnosis. Went back to ER with stomach spasms and vomiting. CT scan was normal. All in all since the surgery, I have been to 4 different doctors and I'm beginning to think maybe it is something that I just will have to live with. I lost almost 20 pounds and have not put it back on. Mainly, I am drinking fruit smoothies with protein powder and chia seeds, Kefir and eating yogurt. The only diagnosis that I've been given is nerve damage and IBS-M. Frustrating because before the cecal volvulus, I was told it was IBS-C. I saw a nutritionist who put me on a diet for IBS-D. That didn't work. Tried the low fodmap diet for awhile but struggled after a couple of days eating solid foods. I am trying to supplement with vitamins. The prescriptions that they prescribed had a side effect of constipation and bone fractures. I took them for a while and was told I could get off of them since I wasn't improving. Right now,
I am just holding out till May when I can retire. Thank you for your response.
