I am 4 wks out from surgery unable take protien in any form getting very little fluids in i cannot eat anything without wanting to vomit. I had complcations from internal bleeding & kidney failure due to blood loss. I wish i had never had it done i am sick of being sick. Please those of you considering surgery to look very carefully at all poss.complcations. i am very disgusted with my results i have no strength, stamina, nothing & i will not till i can take in protien which is impossible. Good luck if you decide to go through with it

That must make me the resident old bully. I just turned 60!

No vomiting for a couple of days now is surely a good sign

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through such a hard time..Maybe you should see ur doctor to make sure u are not dehydrated. I hope everything gets better.Hopefully the worst part is over and your stomach will began to heal and tolerate more.

What a beautiful baby pic. That baby is gorgeous!

I hope you all have a blessed week godbless. Lux

so many do that it's typical for doctors to prescribe prilosec or another PPO at the surgery. Call and get some asap.

Good They take a couple of days build up in your body to work, but most sleevers find them necessary for the first three months. I tried to go without them last week and learned I still need them. (I'm at seven weeks from my second surgery and three months from the first).

I was taken off my PPI at the 6 month mark. No problems with heartburn or reflux as long as I don't lay down after eating, or eat too much, (that actually happened to me last night with too much meatball Soup, a little too much broth and it had to come up) but I do keep some tums around if need be. Citrus acid is the only thing that still seems to be a bit much for me, so I have to pass up on the margaritas, darn it

Iggy - how's that claw holding??

Mrs Igg.I just read this thread and I think her question was fair. Before you or your little posse start attacking others ask yourself this.Who cares for your special needs kid while you babysit this website? Looks like another act of selfishness to me! SMH! You even had the nerve to say thanks everyone.You are just an old bully!

Please remember to follow the forum rules,be respectful to others,we are adults and we should know how to express our own opinions without having to be disrespectful. Thanks.

Iggy quit highjacking posts for your own problems and you really need to get a life and you are old enough.
