Reply to "I messed up"

Sorry you are having such a difficult journey. First, no need to keep blaming yourself for not being a perfect patient. Many of us has been there, crying and blubbering because of the pain and stress of it all. It happens.

But, you need follow up care. You can call your surgeon’s office for a referral. If that fails, call your gastroenterologist or primary MD and explain your current issues (in concise terms). They don’t need the whole drama. If asked what happened with your surgeon, you can just say it did not work out with him and you could not stay with him. Also ask your primary doc about some treatment for depression/anxiety. It is not uncommon after prolonged illness. Feeling like a raw nerve all the time does not help you heal.

Try not to be too hard on yourself.
