Hi everyone, Well, here I am again. The stomach pain I described in July went away, and then came back again several times. Last Wednesday, it was pretty bad, so I called a friend to take me to the...
Hi again everyone! Here I am 3 months (almost) from my wrap surgery. Lately everything seemed to be going well. I can eat almost anything, but of course with my new healthier habits - smaller bites,...
Hi again everyone, I've been googling Nissen Wrap surgery and saw on a few websites that some surgeons have told their patients that the wrap is "good for about 10 years or so". So that means I will...
Hi everyone, I'm just wondering. This blog is SO helpful, it's amazing how much I've learned about this whole process. Of course everyone's body is different, so it makes sense that our recoveries...
Hi Suxb, Yes, I have pain between my shoulder blades (feels like my back) when food gets stuck - this goes along with hiccups that hurt. However, I CANNOT throw up - when food is stuck I can't even...
Hi Faye, I had a great lack of energy 2 weeks ago, but I started walking every day, even if I could only do 5 minutes and then sit for a minute. Today I am up to 1 hour, but of course I'm not walking...
Hi again everyone, Well, 5 weeks and 1 day after surgery, and things are going well. I have managed to almost wean myself off those liquid meal replacements (Ensure, Boost), eating more natural...
Hi Denise, How heartening it is to hear from you, my friend! So positive! Yes, patience is not currently one of my strong suits - this experience should help on that score. Yes, I do have a crock...
Hi everyone, Here I am, almost 5 weeks after my surgery, and things are progressing if a little more slowly than I'd like. But then, it will take whatever it takes for my whole body to recover from...
Hi everyone, Here I am, 4 weeks out from surgery, and I can say that I am recovering some of my previous energy levels, although I still have quite a way to go on that score. Now, I can at least walk...
Thank you for the positive advice. I should have stock in GasX - I'm taking it almost every day. The doc said I would be a "little gassy" for a while, and I am. Today I hope to find out how much GasX...
Thank you so much, Denise! I'll for certain ask my doc about omeprozole use, especially when I'm feeling nauseous. I'm working on some good possibilities for cooked vegetables. This week I ate almost...
Thank you Denise! I've re-scheduled the apt with my surgeon from next week, to tomorrow, to address the nausea and the right hand numbness. But your encouraging words really do help. I know I've lost...
Hi all, Here I am - 3 weeks out from surgery. Still having troubles with nausea keeping me from eating. Appetite has never been a problem for me, up to now, but it's hard to eat when I'm nauseous,...
Thanks, Sandi! I plan to use this site, as I've already found a lot of information from other people who've had the same surgery. I am keeping a positive attitude, and trying to be patient. After...
Hi, I am 69 and 18 days post-op. It was an emergency Nissen wrap because my complete stomach was cut-off and inside my upper chest area, so it was a lot of pain before the nasal-gastric tube emptied...
Hi everyone, I'm 69 years old, and just had the Nissen wrap surgery 15 days ago, because my entire stomach was incarcerated above the diaphragm. I'd only known about the hernia 2 years ago, but...
