Had a Vomiting Incident...
I'm sorry, I never experience anything like that,and I also had ice cream,but never vomited.It's probably to much sugar for your body.Or maybe you drank it to fast.

the story of my trip to the ER
What do the Dr's. tell you? Ask them are they sure this was not caused by the plication,can they say it for sure or they say "I don't think so" Tell them you need to know and be a 100% sure, Get your point across.Ask them after they do the surgery and you still have the pain,then what?Don't old anything back ,tell them exctly how you feel.You have nothing to loose on the contrary.

What's the secret?
Ok , so I had my plication done at the age of 39. I turned 40 in May of 2011 this was supposed to be my birthday present to myself, I look at some of the members profile and most of you are not telling your age ,Why or why not? Does it matter if we know your age? The reason I ask is that I want to know if this is a middle life crises like my husband calls it, LOL. Why didn’t we do this before when we were younger like in the 30’s or before? I ask myself this all the time.
