I go back for my 1st post op with the surgeon today and boy do I have a list of things to talk about. #1. I had acid go into my ear canal just like before the surgery and my throat was swollen last night. I was so beside myself. The only thing I could do was to take a pill and go to sleep to keep from obsessing about it. Now I'm back up and stil obsessing and swallowing over and over to check it.

Secondly, my bowels are not the same. I have been on Linzess for constipation for years and when I take it,I produce nothing but green bile. My body is not absorbing the few nutrients that it is getting. My digestive system needs a rehaul now??

I hope he has some answers. I wonder how quickly we could go back in a tighten up the Nissen. Is that even a possibility now? What test will I have endure now just to see what is going on? What about my digestive tract and how did it get off? Please Lord help me and him!!

Wow - please don't expect so much so soon after your surgery! Your recovery will not happen overnight, and you can expect small set-backs along the way. A lot of people experience some of the same symptoms they had prior to surgery, but they eventually subside. You've had major surgery, your body needs to adjust. Your bowels are not going to be the same, initially, as your food intake has drastically changed. Did your surgeon's office talk to you about what would happen to your body, post-surgery? It doesn't sound like it. I suggest you go back and read some of the recovery journals listed on this Forum and relax. Tightening the wrap is not something you should be concerned about. You just need to stay focused, and take things one day at a time.

Thank You Sharon,

I have spent a couple of hours reading everyone's posts. They all run together at some point. Maybe, I do need to reread. I just didn't think I would have acid come back like that.....this early. My bowels will fix in time I am sure. I am just anxious that I went through tat for nothing. I hope that I am wrong. My recovery has been great for the most part. Little pains here and there but nothing horrific. I guess I should count my blessings, but I'm still gonna inquire this morning during my little window with the master!

Thank You Sharon for talking me down off the wall. Sometimes I do need that!!!
