Daily mail is a British Newspaper. I am British. They do have a reputation for sensationalism, however, I couldn't read this without it bothering me. I guess we would need to know more before making assumtions.

No nothing, I was just very tired, slept for a whole day! I wasn't sore at all during the flight. Bring your own cushion (i put lavender all over mine to relax and keep me calm) and make sure you have an aisle seat. I'm sure you will do fine! i

I did a 4 hour then a 13 hour flight home! How mental was that? I got it approved by the doc first and had no history of clots, not on pill etc. Have you spoke to your doc about it? I had no trouble or pain at all. I sipped Water as much as I could, got up and walked every hour on the hour and did excercises in my seat. I also wore the extra long compression socksfor the entire journey. I didn't sleep a wink but got through 6 great movies! Your surgeon is the best person to speak to but what I did worked for me!

Thanks everyone. The omeprazole seems to be working and I havnt been eating any spicy food and eating very slowly. I think I had a way too spicy curry one night, also been drinking alcohol which I rarely do. Just got a bit of a fright because I'm so far from home. Merry Christmas to you all!

Thanks everyone, you are keeping me calm. Am trying everything you suggested!

Thank you foxbins. No vomiting or different bowel colour\movements just slight churning pain when eating liquids fine just food causing funny feeling Have started omperazole & took gaviscone after light dinner which seemed to help, I think Will take your other advice as well, thanks for posting! As I've never had acid before I'm not sure if its just that or not!.

Ok, beginning to freak out now. Could this be a stricture or a beozar? Searching this forum might not have been a good idea.....

Thanks for quick reply Thomas. Glad someone is in same boat. Will try eating some salad too. Surely it couldn't be something serious when we are so far out with no previous problems? Please keep me updated!

Never had any problems before, didn't need a ppi but the past few days when I'm eating I get a small pain. Not even pain, just a discomfort when eating. Any type of food. All I can describe is like a churning sensation kind of between breasts and stomach. I'm trying not to freak out beacuse I'm on holiday in thailand but the more I think about it the more worried I get! Has anyone else had anything similar. Could it be acid I've never had it before? Gas? Could I have caused a hole? Would appreciate any advice!

Do you think it copuld be acid? I was lucky enough never to have suffered with acid. What does acid feel like? Does it start when you are actually eating? I will get checked out when home but at the moment in thailand, I'm not going to a doctor.

I'm glad I found this. I'm currently on holiday at the min and everything I eat has been giving me slight, very slight pain and discomfort. Its almost like I can feel the food churning away inside. I'm hoping its just do with different foods here in thailand. Maybe a bit spicy. Trying not to worry but reading this post makes me feel a bit better.

That's a great idea Irene. Thank you! Looking hot by the way!

Well I'm just home. The dermatologist thinks its reaction to skimmed milk. Wants me to quit skimmed milk and Protein shakes (the rtd one i drink) because they are made from skimmed milk. He says it is quite common for females to have this reaction to skimmed milk. I am pretty gutted. I get a lot of my protein in from both of these. The rtd is the only Protein shake I like and I LOVE my milk. He said i can still drink full cream milk but I've not drank that since i was a child and I don't even like the taste of it. The minute he asked if i drank a lot of skimmed milk i was like "uuuggggg oooohhhh!!!!" I have a gut feeling this is the problem. I didnt drink it like i do now before i had surgery so it makes sense that this could be causing the bad skin. You know when you just get a feeling? Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks everyone, sound advice as always. I booked with dermatologist next week so will keep you all posted. I have no doubt that I don't drink enough water, I will start to get in as much as I can. Pretty sure the dermatologist will advise that too!
