Hi,

I haven't checked in in awhile but wanted to share...went in for my 6 month check up, all was great so happy about that. The next night woke up at 2am with this crazy pain in my chest/ab area. Got pretty scared, knew it wasn't right and sca

Hi all,

Happy to report the acid reflux that was killing me for the past few weeks is starting to calm down. I feel like myself again. Saw the Dr/Nut yesterday and they advanced me to regular food. Very excited but sort of nervous at the same t

Hi all,

I am hoping maybe you all have some advice for me...(6 weeks out) I posted a week or so ago about what I thought was acid reflux, thinking it was brought on by some strong antibiotics. I have been off the antibiotics for a week now but

Hi all,

I am 5 weeks out from surgery and have been on a pretty strong anti-biotic for the last week due to my incision problem. Now I have what feels to be maybe acid reflux? Lots of bubbling up is the best way I can describe it. I am on proto

So last night I was picking up the house and all of a sudden I have pain near my incisions. Not sure what really caused it but its like I have gone back to the beginning with the incision site pain/tightness. Maybe just pulled or bent wrong? Had to sle

5 days post-op and today has been so hard. Not regretting my decision or anything, just cannot stand all these artificial sweet things and the after taste everything seems to have. Literally choking it down. Trying really hard to keep up with the fluid

My surgery on Thursday went really well. Came home Saturday. Pain is tolerable, but drinking all this fluid is really hard. Are so many noises coming from your gut normal? And the feelings down there are so strange now. Its almost like a hunger pain bu

My surgery is scheduled for 4/14. My Dr told me that he would have me on blood thinners for a bit after surgery. I thought OK, no big deal. Then I find out its not a pill, its a SHOT! A shot that you have to give yourself. I know I'm being a big baby b
