Hi! I'm 3 yrs post opt July 25th. For the most part I have not had really any problems. Till recently that is. I got the flu bug the begining of March of course the second week I start my new job. My stomach has been off since. I tried Activia yogurt for 3 days recommended by my surgery doc's nurse when I got the flu in September. And as soon as I went off of it my stomach started feeling off again. So I'm gonna try it again for 6 more days. My stomach feels so full in the morning I guess you'd say like its swollen. I drink 2 cups decaff (switched back completely) coffee in the morning and I get this full nausea/acid feeling in my stomach with what seems to be a gurgle and sometimes then gas passing in my intestines. Sometimes I gotta go to the bathroom (normal) and others nothing. Speaking of that everything is normal for me there to. I do feel a bit like I am constantipated when my stomach is kicking my butt, but I am not. I do have bad heartburn in the morning and I am on Prolisec. Now I don't have doctor anymore cause our program ended here and no one has sent further info to me as to who I should see now. The nearest hospital they recommended was in Rochester or Syracuse New York 4-5 hours away. I need to see if there is a doctor closer to here. How do I found out without calling around? Anyway does anyone have a idea what this could be? Thanks so much christine

A lot of the Elmira people have transferred to Geisinger, Danville.

  I got my RNY done at Geisinger, and they are wonderful.   I live in Towanda PA.   I know it is still a ways, but it is worth the trip.

If you go to Geisinger Hospital,  it's one of the better hospitals.
