Is this to try to get insurance to cover the cost? If so, stick to health-related reasons - that's what they want to hear. For example, it limits your ability to exercise because it gets in the way, you get rashes from it, it pulls on your back causing pain, etc - whatever fits your particular situation.

Lol was just getting on to post rhe same thing. Left work for surgery on June 5th wearing a 2x top and bottom. Went back to work this week and I'm wearing a medium top and bottom and they're almost too big. So thankful I Mmm work in surgery and they provide our scrubs, otherwise this could have been quite costly!

Excited to finally come home from the hospital today after 8 days. I had to have a picc line put in and 5 days of tpn, lots of potassium, and magnesium. Make sure if you guys know something is wrong to seek help from your doctor. I'm going home on 4 nausea meds, and am finally able to move to full liquids and I'm 7 weeks post op today.

Yesterday and today have been pretty exciting. Had my esophagus dilated yesterday and was able to eat some Soup and keep fluids down. I cannot eat or drink much, but anything is better than ice chips only. Today I have had a few ounces of potatoe soup, a popcicle, and a little lemon Water. I know it's not much but I am happy with anything. Hopefully after just a few more dilations I'll be back to normal!

To people that are down energy my nut said to start taking B-12. You can get it so that it dissolves under your tongue.... it seems to help

Well just got back home from my EGD. I did have a stricture they said it was so small they couldn't get the camera down. So fhey stretched it out, and I'm hoping this will be the only time. I woke up in more pain than I expected, but I think it was mostly on from the gas they use. Now I'm not experiencing near as much discomfort .... hoping no one else ends up with this problem

I'm 11 Days out and found a few things I like now. About a teaspoon of refried Beans mixed with a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt and a little pureed salsa for flavor then warmed for about 30 seconds... it's amazing. And 1tablespoon malt-o-meal original mixed with 1/3 cup 1% milk and 1 packet of splenda cooked for about 2 minutes. .. also amazing and should be runny..... I'm still baffled at how quickly I gef full now
