Update and Question

Hey everyone,
I havent been here in a bit but I just wanted to post an update and a question.
My update is that I had surgery on Feb 9th and all went well until 3 weeks out. At 3 weeks out I began to throw up everything, including water. I went back into the hospital for a total of 2 weeks with 2 strictures. I was stretched once and then it closed again. As of right now I am at home and doing well. I am officially 5 weeks out but still on just protein drinks and water. Kinda sucks because I miss food. I am not hungry but I just miss the chewing. I go back to have another endoscopy on Monday to see if they can stretch my stoma all the way.

My question is has anyone ever had this happen? I know it can happen but I have never met anyone who has had it happen.

Thanks
Nathalie :)

feel better nat!!!!!!!

Thanks :) I feel a little better but hopefully I will be at 100% soon :)

�I don't know anyone personally that this has happened to but just remember it's bump in the road, you'll get better and be back to normal soon!�

Good luck with the next endoscopy!

Thanks so much for the well wishes. I am sure it is only a bump in the road and I just have to remember that in the end it will be worth it.

I missed chewing also. My surgeon allowed me to have sugar free hard candy. I was able to crunch them with my teeth and chew them. It really helped me, I suggest asking your surgeon if that would be ok for you. Hang in there :)
