Well said. We have all been through this. I don't know how many people tried to change my mind about the surgery or accused me of taking "the easy way". If they only knew. I now suffer from ulcers that don't seem to want to heal. Would I do the surgery again? You betcha! I can now run 3 miles, non stop, play softball, go on trips and outlast my kids in most things. I am much happier person since having taken "the easy way". Missi

You wouldn't be normal if you didn't have doubts or be afraid!

Glad to hear you are hanging in there. The only protein I liked was unjury, and still to this day. Hope you find one you can tolerate.

Topic: I can't believe it's been a week already!!

Well it has been 8 days since I had my surgery!! It goes by soo fast, it's unreal!! I am feeling great and doing alot better. I'm getting in all my fluids, walking and resting when I need to. The only thing I am struggling with is my protein shakes. YUCK!! For some reason I cannot stomach them. I've tried 4 different ones, plus isopure so far and they all make me nausiated. But I'm working on it. I can't wait to go to the doc's on the 18 th and get these staples out, they are driving me crazy!! Well I hope the rest of you are doing well and I wish all of you luck with up comming surgeries.

Topic: RE: Nervous

I am wondering how you made out? I started the process and my doctor ssaid that Dr. Cobean was really good. I did see him at the informational meeting and thought he was funny! I also was cleared by the social worker and now waiting to hear from them....My doctors office is setting me up with the Barium swallow..Did you have to do that?
