    GettingThere24 got a reaction from april042019 in Extremely rude nurse   
    I’m so sorry to hear of this experience! How awful!
    I have a hospital operations management background and you absolutely should report this discriminatory behavior. Most hospitals have a patient representative who take complaints such as this and thoroughly review the issue in a methodical way. These more flagrant issues are also reported to senior leadership so they’re aware. My suggestion is to check with the hospital and see if they have this type of person who can assist you.

    GettingThere24 got a reaction from baricurious in OK to be OK?   
    I, too, did not experience any issues except for getting in liquids the first two days post op. Now, I’m doing great and it’s so nice to be back to regular food. It’s definitely a different experience than the liquid and puréed phase. Eating slowly and chewing food well are a must.
    Keep up the great work (and attitude) on this long and fulfilling journey!

    Yes, my surgeon’s office said the same thing about taking them with Prevacid but on the occasion if surgery is needed. They said sparingly is okay as long as Prevacid is taken to protect your tummy.
