Cajun,

Thanks for sharing, very interesting, beautiful suture line. Is your issue with epiphrenic diverticulum resolving?

Yes, thanks for asking. It is small and I have no symptoms so the consensus thus far is to just do another upper GI xray in 4 months, to be sure it is not getting bigger. From the research I have read, over 80% of this type never changes and causes no problem. So I am feeling so much better about it. I sent all the pictures to Dr Aceves and he is going to look at them too. I am looking forward to hearing his opinion too. It's a very rare type of diverticulum, and the literature says even expert thoracic surgeons in major research hospitals don't see more than 20 in their entire lifetime.

Thanks so much for your concern.

THANKS SO MUCH! I was wondering also if I had a big ugly looking mess there that was not healed. I bet I am fine as wine.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
