      Are you kidding me???  If the hospital won't help, get in touch with your doctor.  You need to get that checked out.  

      And people in our country want socialized medicine???  I wish the entire U.S. could see what I see on these posts.

      That's awful! I hope you are able to see your Dr and get him or her to explain why this is happening. Also give you something to relieve the symptoms. You will feel better soon. I hope your next post is a happy one!

      Weill I manage to speak on the phone to a doctor she said there a sickness bug going round and and to some gaviscon for the acid yesterday was very bad , to pain was very very bad , my whole digestive system feels raw . I'm coeliac and dairy free and there wasn't any thing nourishing for me to eat in hospital plus they gave me lots of drugs including injections in my tummy to thin the blood I'm slowly healing my self with gentle food and drink I'm hoping today will be a bit better

      It's been been two weeks and I just been to have my clips out . I'm still in pain and have very low energy but I think the sickness to it out of me. I'm hoping the pain will get less . I'm sure this is worse than my original bowel operation . I'm being very careful I can not go though this again I though I had a high freshhold of pain . I will say it has improved today but it worse as the day goes on . On ward and upwards I will. Post agin next week to compare how I feel then
