Headed for surgery!!!

Hi All, I just mett with Dr Lin in Atlanta today.  I will be having surgery on April 14th to remove my old stomach.....my new pouch is working find after my wls on 12-17-04, but the old part keeps closeing down.  I have had G-Tubes for up to three months at a time to get it to start working and also had surgery on it last year, But for the last 3 weeks the pain is back and the only thing to do is have it remove. Has anyone heard of this....they call it a lazy stomach. I would love to hear from anyone befor my surgery....I am a little scared about this. Martha in Columbus Ga

Martha, I hope and pray that you do well with this surgery.  I know that you have been having problems with this for at least the last year or so...and I hope that this surgery will solve all your problems... Take care and let me know how you are doing.... Norma

Thank you so much Norma.  I will be in the hospital 2 days to a week, but as soon as I get home and can get on here I'll let you know. Martha

I'm home from the hospital.  This past monday 4/14/08, I had my remnant stomach removed after over a year of pain and problems with it.  After the 3+ hour surgery the Dr told us that he did remove the remnant stomach and did some work on my pouch.  So I am back to clear liquids for a week, and then working my way back up to foods again.
