I am finally seeing a change , feeling better about my surgery. How are you doing?
-
They opened my tummy esaph/ stomach. And stomach/ small intestine they stretched it with a balloon, I was so restricted no food could enter my stomach. That's why I was throwing up. Stomach still little raw from test but food is staying down. Starting to feel better! Thanks for all the support!!!!!!!Had gastric sleeve with hernia repair , was suppose to have had bypass but due to previous surgeries it wasn't possible. I am 3 1/2 weeks post op ; I have lost 40 lbs. I am sick alot. I can only eat twice a day and usually throw one of them up. Veggies nor any protein will stay down . Is anyone else having this problem?
