    I had surgery in April 2018. I experienced the stomach gurgles for a while. It does get better.

    J@Alabama got a reaction from Tracyringo in NSAIDS   
    My surgery was done in Birmingham, AL as an outpatient. After surgery, I spent the night in a nearby hotel and the nurse came by and checked on me and then I saw the doctor the next morning before going home. (Surgery on Thursday returned to work on Monday)
    I didn’t have issues with pain and never took any pain medication.
    Best decision ever! (Surgery April 2018, down 80lbs)

    In a world full of so much negativity and hatred, I have to say thank you to everyone on here for being so kind and encouraging! It amazes me everyday to see such wonderful and encouraging messages from complete strangers! If the world could just figure out it doesn’t take that much to just be nice to each other, things would be so much better! So, thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond to post! This is such a wonderful forum to be a part of! It shows there is good in this crazy and often mean world!
