Dear Inappropriately Lost, I just read your post and felt compelled to write to you. I was on this forum 6 months ago for acid reflux. That's how I discovered this website. I, too, just recently had...
Hi Denise, Speaking of lifting...I've just started doing some mild weight lifting (just to get rid of my old lady arms) with 5 pound weights and hope to start getting to the gym to become more...
Thank you so much Denise!!! I was hoping you'd see me post and answer:) You're absolutely right. I can't help coughing. I am trying to hold my chest and stomach when I do it to possibly lessen the...
I'm recovering from a head cold and am 5 months post surgery for a NF. Everything has turned out wonderfully, but now I'm afraid the coughing I've done today may disrupt things. I called the doctor's...
Hi Densha! I don't know if you remember me, but you helped me tremendously when I was recovering from surgery. I feel wonderful now. NO GERD. MY SINGING VOICE IS BACK!!! I actually am in The Sound of...
Hi Taylor, Yes. Give it a few more days, maybe a week more and the nausea should go away pretty much. It took that long for me. Hang in there. It gets better. Honest. Ruth...
Happy Thanksgiving Anne! So glad to hear you're doing well too! Yes, I'm very glad I did this and what you describe sounds very much like what I'm experiencing. Hopefully, as time goes on, the...
Dear Denise and Bill, Thanks so much for your replies. I've been walking for an hour everyday, but I'll just be patient and wait for this annoyance to disappear:) Overall, so happy now to have no...
Hi Densha, I just have a quick question. I'm about 9 1/2 weeks post op for TIF and laparoscopy for Hiatal Hernia repair and I notice that by night time the pain in my left shoulder and neck keeps...
Hi Denise! Thanks so much for all your kind words and support during the initial post op period. You were wonderful! I've bought my own copy of The Power of Now and read it daily. Life changing. Take...
Hi Yolee, Yes! I am 8 weeks post op now and I have to say that I have absolutely no acid reflux and I'm not taking any PPI's anymore-so it was a success! I have to tell you though that it is a very...
Dear Anne:) How nice of you to post. I would love to pay forward to you what Denise has done for me! It's so funny that I have just taken up knitting as well! I found the exact same thing, that when...
Hi Denise, Thank you so much for your reply:) I live just outside of Albany, NY (Niskayuna). I will go to the library and try to find the audiotape of NOW. I have found the first few chapters soooo...
Denise, It's been 5 weeks and 2 days since my surgery. When does it start to consistently get better. At what point did you start to feel like your old self consistently? Not one day yes, next day...
Hi Denise, I'm reading The Power of Now while I recuperate. Just started. Ruth...
Hi Denise, I think Eckhart Tolle must be Buddhist because I've been going to Shambahla Meditation Center for 2 years now and The Power of Now is exactly what Buddhism and Meditation is about. It's...
Do you think it's normal to have a day at 4 and half months where your legs are weak and you feel nauseous and have to lay in bed all day? I wish I had your attitude. The oxycotin they gave me I...
You are amazing Denise! It's like you're right here beside me talking! You respond so quickly! Thank you so much. Can I ask another question? I was reading that you were a teacher. I am as well. At...
Denise, Diid you find in your first few weeks of healing, I'm 4 and a half, that you would feel really good one day and then the very next day could feel really lousy? When does it start to even out...
Denise, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M SITTING HERE CRYING READING YOUR POST. YOU TRULY ARE AN ANGEL DENISE. I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO ENCOUNTER MANY IN MY LIFETIME SO FAR. YOU ARE WONDERFUL....
Hi Densha, I'm writing to you directly because your positive and encouraging words have helped me tremendously over the past 4 weeks post Tif and laproscopic surgery for Hiatal Hernia repair. I know...
Thank you Denise:) I've been walking a little inconsistently. I will definitely start being more proactive about it and will be so happy to stop taking these PPI s and getting back to a new normal!...
Thank you Denise for your reply:) I actually had the TIF procedure. Do you think that would make any difference in terms of rebound acid when going off the PPI? I'm sorry I wasn't more specific about...
So glad to hear you're doing better British! I have to say at almost 4 weeks, I am feeling much better as well! Hardly any reflux! I have a question though. My doctor has me taking my Omeprazole (40...
Amen! Thank you Denise! I'm having the same exact fear right now. I'm 16 days post op of TIF and hiatal hernia repair and still having acid reflux, especially when I try to take my supplements like...
Thank you for your response Tandem:) Did your doctor also have you stay on your PPI (Omeprazole in my case) for 4-6 weeks after the surgery? He claims it's to heal the throat, but I'm scared that I'm...
Thanks for the reply stkitt:) The nausea is definitely lessening at 2 weeks post op today, but I still feel "greenish." My doctor prescribed anti nausea meds that took the edge off for the first few...
Has anyone experienced Nausea for awhile after acid reflux surgery? If so, how long does it last?...
Hi British, I'm 11 days post op and have been experiencing severe nausea for the past few days. Is your nausea finally gone? If so, how long did it last? Ruth...
