How time flies. The week after Easter I had 5 attacks in two days, two of them w/i 5 minutes of each other. I went and saw Dr. Nichols and he decided it was now time to do exploratory surgery in the abdomen to see if he could find a physical cause to the pain. I had the surgery May 5th and he found one section of the "y" was telescoping and he closed a hernia that most people have. It is just above our colon in the stomach area but with the RNY, the small intestine is now under it so he decided to close the hernia just to be sure. The hope was that the telescoping was the issue. Then June 2nd I had was seemed like another attack, just not as extreme. I woke up at midnight with a low blood sugar attack and started eating my usual spoonful of peanut butter and wala - abdomen pain. Called Dr. Nichol's office the next morning and he and his assistant Cindi insisted it was dumping. I don't have any idea why that one time of eating peanut butter I would have dumped but, since I would rather it be that instead of the telescoping intestine being it, I'm ging to believe them. But, just in case I had a colonoscopy done and except for one pocket it was clear.I'm still maintaining between 140 & 145 - usually right in the middle, so I'm quite happy. I can't believe I'm coming up on my 4 year anniversary.
