Good luck....
No PPIs - after surgery lots of times you will have heartburn feeling but it is usually the food that gets stuck and comes back up - not real reflux....
Gastricman, I faced same dilema you are when I needed my surgery - Dr. Salky doesn't except any insurance so I had to go out of network and pay for half out of packet. I know it may be difficult for...
Great, you will be fine, just give it time....
One week is really early and you will run across lot of different symptoms in the next few weeks. My surgeon told me to ignore any symptoms for the first 2 months after my surgery and he was right....
Sharon, 2 months is still very very early and the symptoms you are experiencing are normal. If you find some foods giving you problems, avoid them. You should call your doctor if you need and see...
Thank you Denise, I appreciate your help....
Keep us updated Nick - remember that doctors need you to keep coming back to make money and if it's not life threatening situation they don't care much....
Yeah I have little problem with stomach emptying but did not want to take reglan due to the side effects. I do get hungry but get full very very quickly. I feel better if I eat small meals throughout...
Nick, yes, I had all the sensations you are feeling and the something stuck was the worst. It was causing me a great anxiety because I thought I was choking all the time. I also had strange feeling...
Nick, lump in throat could also be from silent acid reflux - you will not feel heartburn but will have acid coming up to the throat - I know because i had it and eventually had surgery for it. Why...
10 years after surgery and I still feel full all the time lol...
I actually had heartburn feeling for like 6 months after the surgery on and off but it went away eventually. I think what you are experiencing is very normal - stop taking big gulps and slow it down....
Did you ever try different PPI's? Gastritis will heal but takes long time - are you stressed? Stress causes reflux as well and nervous stomach. Sumner is right, ask a lot of questions and if your...
Yeah baby foods are good for you after surgery - lots of nutrition in them, just try some because not all of them taste good lol. Protein shakes are also great....
Try different medication....
Did you have barrium swallow test? If you are having reflux you may have hiatal hernia and also food getting stuck in your esophagus. If you have Eosinophilic Esophagitis then surgery will not really...
Shelley, instead of getting off PPIs, you should probably have some tests like Endoscopy and barrium swollow to see what's going on - I am not sure if you had any tests. I used to take PPIs and would...
Sumner, I recommend you stack your kitchen with soft foods and liquids - just make sure to get the nutritious ones. You will not be able to eat that much in the beginning so you need to make sure...
Gastricman, there is only 1 surgeon in NYC who I would consider if I were you - his name is Dr. Barry Salky - he is actually the best NF surgeon in the country, if not in the world. I actually had...
HerdMare, thank you for advise - I have never taken more than 10MG but I did experience the withdrawal side effect coming off of it and they can be horrifying. I actually tried few different SSRIs...
Thank you for your replies. I always took 10MG and never had to up it but it seems like i may need to do it now. It definitely doesn't hurt to try - I have an appointment with my psychiatrist soon so...
Hello, I haven't post here in a while but I feel like I need some advise. I has extreme anxieties that caused pretty much all the symptoms you can imagine. I had heart attack, stroke, and last one is...
Oh ok - didn't know you had glaucoma. I think I will give it a shot and see how it works for me. Teeter has 30 day trial offer for $15 so why not - maybe it will be my cure, even thought I am not...
I was wondering if anyone ever used the inversion therapy for Sciatica and lower back pain? I read a lot of good reviews but ofcourse you can't always trust them so I wanted to see if any of the real...
Joy, thank you for all your help. I actually switched chiropractors because the one I was going to would only adjust me which took him 30 seconds and then charge me $40 for it. The new one does some...
Yes, I had Xrays but no MRI - Xray showed compressed disk according to the chiro. I will go and see orthopedic doctor if this chiro doesn't get me better soon. Thank you for all your help....
Joy, I just started to go to a different Chiropractor because I didn't like the other one - do you suggest I see other type of doctor or chiro should be able to fix me? Thank you....
Joy, did you have same symptoms I do? I am so afraid of MS and since I have anxiety disorder, I worry so much. Little history of me - about 8 months ago I was lifting at the gym and doing arm curls...
Hello, I have few questions. For the past few months I have been having lower back pain which radiates down both of my legs. I feel it mostly in the calves and buttocks but also in hips and on the...
OK Doctor just called me and said I have pretty long colon and there is no problems with it - he told me to eat a lot of fiber and there is no need to do anything else about it. I guess I always...
Hello, I had a colonoscopy today and the doctor left before I could talk to him - he stopped by but I was still sleeping lol. He wrote down on the paper - Colon was twisted dialated - biopsy taken....
Deltaforce, thanks for your help. I actually checked if the facility I went to received any contaminated meds from NH and they did not. Also, I think all meds with manangitis outbreak were taken off...
Hey, as it happens I had cortisone injection 2 weeks ago and also have lots of different symptoms - especially the headache, neck pain, muscle pain and stomach related issues. My headache is mostly...
Thank you SC. I was thinking about that something might have gotten into my eye as it is extremely windy today. Also, right before i get into the car and started driving I was eating at a deli that...
Hello everyone - I have not posted here in a while. I had severe anxiety and panic disorders and started Paxil about 2 months ago along with Clonozepam and felt much better. That was until I received...
OK it's been almost two weeks now and I am still having this warm feeling all over my body but mostly in my face - pretty weird. The doctor's assistant did tell me they are giving me pretty high...
Red, thank you for your help - if I can ask, how long did your side effects last? I will check ask my doctor for an MRI and see what he says. I was wondering why I was having anxiety and some panic...
Thank you - my doctor said to see him back in 6 weeks. He told me cortisone may take 2-3 weeks to fully work so I am still waiting for it. I have moments where the shoulder feels better and doesn't...
Hello, it's my first time posting on this part of the forum but I hope someone can help. I have had pain the back on the left shoulder - it was making my arm go little numb sometimes and was...
Kaskitty, my 5 cents lol 1) Unable to vomit - this is true for me - tried many times but couldn't - dry heaving sucks but it did not damage the wrap. 2) Gas issues / Bloating (can't burp) - I have...
Emgies, I think you should try different medication if after 14 weeks you see no improvement. Gastritis can take a while to heal but after 14 weeks you should expect some relief....
Hi Guys, so I had HIDA scan yesterday - waiting for results but when they started to give me some enzymes I started to get similar symptoms I have been getting for few months now. Does this mean my...
I am not martial artist but I played soccer before the surgery and play soccer after the surgery. My surgeon always told me I would be able to do everything the way I did before the surgery. Only...
Nano, the surgery was life saver for me, even though I am having some problems now (10 years after). I suggest you get someone to stay with you and help you in the first few days - you will be sore...
lynneb, I felt like that for about 6 months after my surgery - at 3 weeks you are very very early in yur recovery and there will be many times you will feel like you have reflux but it's not. Try to...
Sam, Denise is right, bloating is very normal - actually I am still bloated lol - I have surgery 10 years ago but I may be an islolated case....
Went to see another doctor today - he thinks my problems are anxiety related. He told me to take it easy and anxiety meds should help - well that was something I could have told myself too - ugh. He...
