I must irriterate what Pat Tall said, continue to chew chew chew and chose your food very carefully. Learn from your reactions to certain foods and limit or eliminate those foods from your diet. The...
Your stomach is going to rumble for a long time! In fact only until recently, when I lied down to sleep I would let out the longest belches, I'm sure I surpassed records! I never had hoarseness but...
Hello everyone, I am a Canadian 50 year old female. I had my partial fundo October 2 2015. My surgery was performed by a chest and esophagus specialist, and was performed laparoscopically. I suffered...
Hello all, been a while since I've posted, I am 1 year 3 months post surgery and I did not have chest pain but shoulder pain. Everyone including the surgeon performed many tests to see what was...
Hey there Jen So it's been done! Good for you! So I am now on week 11, back to work and have had my whole world kinda be topsey turvey. Due to surgery, my Brian just can't concentrate like it could...
Hi John, welcome. I am into my 7th week post op and actually at my first day of work I don't know if you had a hernia repai as well? I did and I still find it hard to gather the air and lung capacity...
No major hernia is a good thing for recovery - in my mind, it would mean less stitching in the diaphragm - which is what causes me most of my pain issues. You may find yourself recovering much sooner...
Jenagade - this sounds good. I am happy that your surgeon has given you the low down on how things are going to go. You are lucky that you do not have to wait. I had my monomatry and ph testing done...
Jenagade: having the 180 has been excellent. My surgeon's office will not do the Nissen procedure because of the inability to burp or vomit. I am quite happy as this concerned me greatly. Just...
Thanks again Barry - I think we all worry in the early stages if this was worth it. But I keep trying to reassure myself that one more year of "crap" and then my life will be amazing 🤗...
Hi Barry, Thank you for the info! I really find that if I eat too much - wow do I ever get shoulder pain! It will radiate into my right side and then up the back of my neck. It's just awful!! Then if...
Hi there, I too stand behind what Tony has recommended. I am in my 6th week and I am only returning to work next week (16 nov). I work at a desk, but just going out to the store for a couple of hours...
Hi there. Are you eating any solids? We have all experienced nausea, cold sweats etc from eating the wrong thing too soon....
Good day, ... Question to all post surgery members. During my hospital stay, I suffered severe pain in the front of my left shoulder. You could say the soft squishy area just in between and under...
I don't know where you live, however in my city in Canada, the hospital that the surgeon belongs to, had bios on the surgeon. This provided me info as to his experience and his specialties Mine is a...
I had done a lot of research before I had my hysterectomy in 2007, and knew that this surgery was as equally as serious - however this time around I chose not to do the same research. Not to scour...
Oh! And the GI gurgling........ Hahaha - have you started with the rear? My sons are making fun and grading me on tone! 🙀😳...
Hi Greg - you can call me Shelly Lots of wierdness hey? So let me start with headache - right side more in my neck into the base of my head, and only became prominent in the last few days. Bending...
Hi Lizbeth I am 49 this Dec and also have suffered from heartburn as early as 12 and reflux for 20 years. I've been on all acid reduction, motility, and other meds. I have modified my diet, and in...
Hi Greg - I am just starting week 6, I too get the same pains you describe from eating. I try to stop eating just before ... It's hard to explain, but I can kind of feel it just before it starts. I...
So I may have found my first culprit! Home made gravy - it doesn't give me gas (as experienced yesterday) but must be what has made me feel nauseated, sweaty, shaky and just terrible. My deduction...
I can't eat everything on the sample menu at one sitting, but when I decide to have something, I look to the samples for an amount, and then gauge from there. I also eat until I feel like I have to...
I haven't had that happen yet - and I hope I don't. When it comes to when, I eat when I get hungry. What - I found a great site for the ok and avoid foods and when I Showed this to my dietician...

So today I ventured out and my hubby and I decided to get some lunch - with such limited options I suggested pho - rice noodles in mild broth and chicken. As long as I didn't eat the onions or add...
Jenegade, to answer your question, no pains before bm - just gas feeling and your brain saying - this ain't just gas this time! 😨 The strange thing about the milk... I love milk, always have - but...
Thanks for the replies - I too was thinking it was the whole digestive process. I noted what I had eaten and the only things that were different were old fashioned rolled oats for breakfast and then...
