Kelly I know why I can not have a reversal duh. In December of 2008 right before my Jan WLS I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis. So what that means is that the muscles in my stomach have stopped working and when I eat nothing moves through my system and it sits stagnant in my tummy for a few days (delayed stomach emptying) So having it reversed would do me no good.

Also went to the DR today and he said I do not have a pain pill addiction. Even if I do he says we will deal with it later after we get this stuff under control. He gave me a prescription for pain patches that work around the clock. Also a prescription for IBS meds to keep my system from spasaming so much. Also told me to use Ginger in and on everything I can stand it on. He also suggests acupunture. I will have to see if my insurance will cover it. He said obviously Western Medicin is not working for me so to try something else OMG I have never had any medical DR say that to me but I am glad he is open minded enough to suggest it.
