So after a week in the hospital and a million tests, all normal, they sent me home and now I'm back in pain, dry heaves, can't eat, passing little stool and bile! slightly distended. My GI thinks it's adhesions again. Had them removed 5 years ago, went thru the same thing. I was pretty much ignored while in the hospital except for tests. I told them I was in pain, they did nothing. They just gave me meds to control the nauseau and fluids. My surgeon did a scope and I have mild pouchitis which he doesn't think is causing any problems. Then he ordered a endoscope and the GI then ordered a gastric emptying test, along with two MRI

All normal! I told them it's adhesion, I can feel the pulling on my left side. He sent in a young resident who was half asleep and asked me what I thought was wrong. I told him adhesions. That was the last I saw of the surgical team. I called them! my doctors called them. Now I found out my surgeon is on a vacay. His nurse was rude and said I read your report and there is nothing wrong. Even the internal med doctor following me at the hospital thinks it's in my head. Then Duh, why did my GI admitted me. This was not my idea. 

I hate to go back to the ER, it's a holiday weekend, and surgeon is on vacay, and the first year residents are on call. I am hating my world famous doctors right now at NYP! This is not the first time they screwed up my case. 

How do I get someone to listen to me? I was under the impression that if everything came back normal he was going to do an exploratory and now told no. My surgeon saw I was distended and said something is wrong. 

Well I may not have a choice......how can they leave me like this. I'm losing so much weight and I'm scared and sick  and don't know where else to turn at this point.

Alley Kat, I am so sorry to hear what you are going thru, it is nor fair. I have been in a similar situation but not as bad. I would go the Cleveland to see Bo Shen and the surgeon who works with him who is wonderful a Turkish MD.  My fought sea with you.  Don't forget there are many here who care and are wishing you the best and our prayers are with you.
