YES!! That is exactly where I had it.. lasted about a week then it subsided. Use the gasx-X strips, they do help!

I had spasms there about a week to two weeks out that would usually hit in the middle of the night when trying to sleep. Landed me in the loal ER to get some some additional fluids, anti-GERD meds and a GI cocktail. It was a combination of acid reflux and gas and it was miserable.

My GP upped my protonix script (for acid reflux) to twice a day and I took Miralax each day for two weeks as well. Trust me - if things are moving through your system, the gas ain't so bad. Now I'm fine with just colace.

I'm 4 months out today and am starting to take two protonix every other day to see if I can get it down to 1 a day. So far, so good.

      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! 😞
