Stacy- thank you so much for responding. It helped so much to read this when I woke up today. Heading off to my "Esophogram" which I am not looking forward to. I bought both the milk of mag and gas x before surgery and have not used either, I think I will take that today to see if it helps.
So glad to have someone to talk to, I do not know anyone who has been through this. Thanks again Stacy..
