The bad news is that I'm continuing to lose weight. Haven't been weighed since December, but at that point I'd lost 30 lbs. My clothes are beginning to fall off of me, and they've all got elastic in them because buttons hurt.
The good news is that this amount of weight loss automatically qualifies me for a feeding tube, which I've been needing and asking for for about a year.
I still have to wait another 1.5 months though, just to see my dr.
I'm scared.
unintentional weight loss, chronic illness Afficher plus
@auntiekiki I've been talking to other folks with gastroparesis (the condition causing this weight loss for me) and they're all suggesting that with this much weight loss in such a short time I should try to get seen sooner than my endoscopy appt. I just hate feeling like I'm a bother. Which is ridiculous when it's something this serious, but that's how my mental illness/es play into this. Sucks and I hate it. I do appreciate your well wishes!
