New to this board, 5 weeks out, getting scared.

So I'm starting to feel really dumb.  :(  I finally forced myself today to try to eat a string cheese.  It was really uncomfortable, but it didn't come back up.  I waited an hour or so, and I actually felt a little bit better.  My husband wanted wendy's for dinner, so I decided I'd go along, and I put a spoon full of chili on a potato, and ate that.  Again, uncomfortable, but it didn't come back up.  It's now been about an hour since I ate, and while I'm still uncomfortable, I'm not in big pain, and stuff is staying down.  So now I think maybe it's not a stricture.   Maybe this whole thing has been a bad acid attack.  I started on nexium again, so we'll see if it helps.

Boy I'll feel really stupid if I called the doc over this!

I'm soooooooooo glad you're here!!!  It is so safe here and you've already heard from two fantastic members.  JEllen  gave you excellent advice....get thee into the doc!!

Again welcome to the safe haven we call the WLS Success family and let us know what you find out OK?
hugs, Y

Never worry about feeling dumb!  This is your first time (and last!) through this process.  It is different for everyone and the doctor should understand that!  Everyone heals differently also - so take it slow and dont hesitate to call the Dr again if you need too!.  Hey they are getting paid very very well!!!!
