8 days post op!!

Hi Everyone, Well I'm now 8 days post op and doing ok right now, the pain is really pretty gone. I do however feel like my abdomin is not the same, and I know it's not but things just feel weird. I feel like I have a pressure at the top of my abdomin right at the top of my staples, I guess it must be my new pouch. Anyone else had this feeling?? I am having problems with my vitamins. The chewable calcium that the Dr. put me on I can't keep down not matter how I do it, I just start gagging and then throw it up. What should I do?? I appreciate any help you may be able to give me. Merry Christmas, Loni Garrison

Loni: I'm using a liquid multivitamin, Centrum, and that seems to be working. There are others that are more designed for this specific surgery. Try vistavitamins.com. Good Luck and have a Merry Xmas. Joe

Hey Loni: I am 6 days post op and I am having the same problem - only I can keep it down, I just then get this horrible gurgle in my belly and soon have an urgency to "run to the bathroom". So, I don't have any advice as how to solve your problem, just wanted you to know that you are not the only one having problems with the calcium. I wish you the best on your life changing journey. Hope your holiday was a good one! Take Care. Leanne

Thanks Leanne, I'm calling my Dr. tomorrow because it has started with the multi vitamin now so I'm getting sick with both of them. Yuck Yuck. Loni
