My name is Colette and I'm 37 years old. On December 1,2000, I had a
hysterectomy. Since way before the hyster. i was constipated
sometimes, and years ago I was Diagnosed with IBS. For a very long time
i was on lactuolose syrup, amtriplyne. then after awhile I was able to
control it myself. I quit smoke in sept. and ever since then and after
surgery i'v had terrible problems with constipation. I'v had a couple
of surgeries basicaly laperascopy's. the last surgery i had was a TAH.
Now i think i may have Adhesions. I live on laxatives, stool softners,
i drink plenty ect...but i can not go no matter what i do. Now i'v stop
eating cause i'm tired of the constipation. I have a juicer so
everything i do is liquid. I drink prune juice 2 times a day. Basicly
it has made me home bound and very moody!! I did make an gasteroligist
appt. the first they can see me is the first of april, by that time
i'll be wheathered away to nothing. Years ago i did this and went down
to like 103lbs. and my normal weight is 135lbs. I almost got
hospitalized then. Since my surgery i'v lost at least 12lbs already.
I'v been fighting this battle for so many years and i'm tired of it i
want to be normal so bad. I have 3 beautiful kids 15,12,my angel face
baby girl is 3yrs. my husband has been great they are the reasons i'm
still here if it was'nt for them i would of given up a long time ago.
Believe me there are days i'd like to just drown myself in a bottle of
pills but thank god for my family. I get so depressed at times. Well
thanks alot for letting me vent!!!
