Hello everyone, I had surgery done on march 24 2008 and only after one week I had it removed, because I felt horrible. I felt weak, chest pains or gas and acid reflux, I guess and just overwhelmed with the liquid diet. I just couldnt over bear the feeling that I was going thru so my surgeon just agreed to take it out. It has been about 2 weeks since he removed it and I feel normal, but know that I think about it I feel that I made a mistake having it taken out. I want to know if reflux, gas or chest pains and weakness feelings are all normal after the surgery is done? and if so how long does it last? Thanks, marcel
