Bowel Update!

Hola, my lovely VA friends.

As you can probably tell, I'm feeling much better!

I got aggressive on the home remedies on Saturday and followed through on Sunday and it worked. I'll never look at corn the same, haha. Sorry, but that's how I tested it. However, I don't feel that much lighter, nor does the scale agree. I do feel less blown up though and the back pain is gone, yay.

I am going to make an appointment with the guy who does the Gastric portion at my RNY surgeon's office. The 3 of them all work very closely together. I'm through the hard part, but I definitely want to make sure that its not scarring and that it was an isolated incident. My body is known to scar though, hence the reason I had to have one fallopian tube tied and the other was removed.

Thank you for all your thoughts/prayers, it worked!

Although I do want to add, I had a flashback from H-E-Double Hockeysticks last night. After doing something recreation, that I won't get specific on, my stomach contracted and hurt like crazy. I remembered the feeling, but couldn't place it...then I stood up to go to the bathroom and a shot of pain rang to my right shoulder and it hit me. It was the same thing after I had surgery. The devil gas. I didn't want to ever feel that again. Grr. It took about 15 minutes, but it subsided. I tried one of those cinnamon gas-ex thin strips and it helped. They don't taste that bad. Made me want to chew gum. Haha.

Happy Monday!

Amber,

I am glad that "everything came out alright" and that you are feeling better.   Good idea to go get it checked anyway just to make sure.  

It is great seeing you back on here!
