Whats up with my pouch???
Hello everyone!
Today my whole stomach area feels like it is stiff and sore. Not a muscle kind of soreness. It is hard to explane. When I drink anything, water, protein drink, or tea I feel like it hits my pouch with a burning achey feeling. When I walk, it kind of feels like pressure or pain. I have no appetite. It feels like when I was only about 4-5 weeks post op. I have not thrown up or gotten sick from this. I am not in pain, just uncomfortable... nor am I worried about this, but I wanted to post on it to see if anyone has any ideas about it. I appricate any of your ideas. I am going to Lynchburg tonight for the Casting crowns concert with my family. So you know that I dont feel all that bad... LOL
Hope everyone has a great Friday night!

Hey, Cathy!
Are you taking any stomach meds? Prevacid? Zantac? The burning feeling could be a small ulcer. I would check with your surgeon. He might want to have you go for an EGD (endoscopy) to look in there and see what is going on. It is a pretty easy test with very light anesthesia and takes a few minutes and then you can go home.
Have a great time at the concert!
Best wishes, Kathy
