I have read all the problems some people have had with their surgery. I have been blessed and have a great Dr.. I was really surprised after surgery, I had no stomach pain at all and really didn't need the morphine button, just a little discomfort at first sleeping on my side. One thing I had was a little pain in my shoulder. Dr. Said " I could tell u followed ur diet, one of the easiest surgerys I performed. The shoulder might be pain displacement " weighed in at surgery 371... This morning 349... No exercise............ yet!!!!!!!!
At first i was scared. 3 + weeks and about 2 weeks pre-op only liquids. After 2nd week post-op Dr. Visit. They told me u doing great no pains, nausea, reflux or any gas build up. Said week 3 start on mash, grits and oatmeal. Grilled or baked chicken, turkey and fish. I waited till almost week 4 to try the meat. So far no problems.
