Even after fixing the stricture, you're not feeling any better?

Do you get your protein and water. Do you take your vitiams and b12.. This doesnt seem right. You should not be feeling like this at 5 weeks out. I would get with your doctor and insist it be taken care I hope to god you feel better soon. You might have depression as well. I got depressed and was put on lexapro Here is a Big Hug Barb
