Hi laurie or whomever out there. I have really been struggling with stomach problems the last few weeks & not on the form as much because of it. I'm not sure if this is a normal part of the healing...
So what is your opinion then, is our excess mucus from our lung issue or a normal part of our healing? I guess that's kind of a loaded question huh. I tell you one thing this has been one hell of a...
5 weeks 5 days post op. here's how I am feeling. I can eat just about anything I want without to much fear, & by saying fear I mean fear of something getting stuck. I am not ready for fresh...
Update, Well I wish I had a good one, starting to think its me, today the throat clearing issue was back with a vengeance, from 7 am until well now, not sure what triggered it today yesterday was so...

Hey there laurie, I have been having daily headaches also the last week, and I am also on Flonase, I really hate to stop doing that because it has helped un-plug my nose. I will try anything. man...
Couple of things to say quickly as I'm still earning a living right now. Brandy, great to hear from you, I have to say I was wondering about you, and you had good news to boot. When my wife and I got...

Laurie, your still not feeling great either huh, what up with that. I really thought I bought a fix for my many years of misery. I am not on my PPI's like you, gave them up the day before surgery...
I hear you there Sickness. LPR is a strange disorder causing all kinds of issues and it seams to be hard for the doctors to figure out, I thought I was ready for surgery last April but more tests...
I am no doctor but I would think you would see results after nissen, and that would be awesome, I was diagnosed with having mild copd about a year and a half ago, then last November my wife caught a...
SIXness, You had your surgery on the 9th and your having symptoms, Well yes I (we Brandy and lajenner) are almost exactly a month ahead. everyone would tell me it gets better and it does or maybe in...
Thank you for that information, they gave me that when I left the hospital after surgery. and once home I started reading the meds they gave me and remember that one now, I read the possible side...
What is Reglan? is that for anxiety, because they gave me something for that a few months back. I wasn't taking it very much but the last three weeks I have been at night to help me sleep, guess that...
Hey there I don't think your being kind of nutty, my anxiety level since my surgery has been through the roof. And I have much of the same concerns, I'm a month behind you (nissen 9-10-13) but...
Brandy, it's cool you just have a lot on your mind, I read every word. yea we really cant go back and reverse the surgery, so moving forward is our only option. Someone once told me, (maybe it was on...

Lafenner, That had me use one in the hospital, and then it disappeared by the time I left, It did cross my mind as to what happened to it, guess I was under the influence and just plain old wanted to...
Brandy, I spent some time fighting a few demons of myself, and I sure am happier now that my life is cleaned up and boring I might add, but people trust and genuinely like me now, so congratulations...
Wow that sounds like a hell of a lot on your plate last summer, I had issues with lungs, all summer also, not as bad as what you have explained so sorry you had to go through all that. we really take...
Lajenner, I wish they would have done a bronchoscopy on me before surgery, I ended up in the ER 3 times with shortness of breath and each time they acted like they couldn't find a problem, like I was...
PS Brandy. my bowels are still all over the place also, so guess we are being normal. Pain meds will really screw that up though. Try a softener if you stay on them...
Brandy, you too huh, well sorry but that kind of makes me fell a bit better guess we are really on the same path. today I woke up feeling like I had some kind of lung infection or something, then...
Thank you Lajenner, It has got me a bit confused. Let me know how the visit with your Pulmonologist goes, in my visit yesterday the doc did say it would take 6 months for my lungs to heal up, I...

Day 14 post op, Seamed like it took forever to get 2 week under my belt but here I am, I would imagen the first 14 days are the hardest so here I go two more weeks and a new normal routine will form....

Tony & Stephanie, thank you for your reply this has been a long road to get to were I am at today, with doing a test then waiting for the ENT or Surgeon to tell me the results and tell me I need...
That's great your positive attitude and maybe I'm getting the worst of it now, or maybe I'm making it worse for myself. I need to try your approach and keep my chin up even when things seem...
Thank you Brandy, I expected the bloating and trouble with food for now, I figure, like yourself time will heal that, I have done these crazy diets and I can do it again knowing (or hoping) for a...

Thank you Lajenner, no I don't think I'm getting sick just discouraged. I don't know or understand why my lpr symptoms would be showing up. today seems to be better then yesterday just a bit. That's...
