When will it get better....?

Dear All,

I had the wrap done 34 days ago. All went acc to plan, the surgery being performed by a wellknown professor. Unlike most of the doctors I have met during these 2.5 year of absolute hell, he made a very good impression - even understanding the psykological pressure this puts on a human being.

I initially had the idea, that I would be up and running after just a couple of days. That sure was a mistake; I was up after day two - but I sure wasnt running...

Now Im able to eat normal food with not too much hassle, as long as the portions are fairly small.

However, Im rather concerned, as I have just had three days with the wellknow pain in my back/neck/left shoulder/left arm - followed by the familiar dizzines. When the pain reaches my upper neck, the dizzines shows up, and the nausea increases.

These were my main symptoms all along (along with nausea and daily vomitting), so its very frustrating and scary to have them come back.

I do have, occasionally, some minor pain and irritation in the area below my diaphragm. I hope that its just the healing process that is causing this - what are your thoughts ?

Kind regards, FRS

Thanks Alcie !

You are correct, in that I dont vommit anymore (I did before the wrap - on a daily basis) - I take Zofran and Primperan, and it does help. The downside is that I get so sleepy, when I take the Primperan, and Im allready at the max dosis for the Zofran, 16mg´s per day.

I have tried Nexium, but they make we very dizzy. Only the Zofran works without any side effects.

Before all this started, I could eat anything I wanted, without any problems.

My main concern is if the surgery will really help: will the pain eventually go away or not. Before the wrap, every day was terrible in regards to the pain, now its quite clear that the pain levels varies from day to day. I hope this is a sign, that the wrap works....???
