The paaaaaaain, the paaaaaaaain. ( i'm sorr I couldn't help myself) If you can help it, you don't want the food to come up. Very, very seldom does the stoma get blocked for a long time, it should go down or come up after some time.

I think we've all had trouble with a liquid pre-op diet. It does get a bit easier after a few days. I had to do the same thing. I made it. It's not a walk in the park, the time does go by and befor you know it you are all done with it. good luck Inge

Did you by a chance ripp one of your stitches? I've heard of a few just bending over and ripping a stitch, I would call the Surgeons Office if I where you, better save then sorry. Good Luck Inge

Well, I tell ya guys and gurls, that pain is probably coming from your diaphram, it can hurt for quit some time after WLS. This info I got from my Surgeon. Also if you eat to soon, or to much it can also make you hurt. The gas they use to "blow you up" with can also make you hurt for some time. I was told, walking and a heating pad will help a lot. It has nothing to do with the size of your band. Hang in there, as time goes by it will all feel better.
