Hello, I am 7 days post op and found this forum. My journey has taken a year from meeting the insurance requirements to the final pre approval. The surgery was on April 2, 2015. I have had a lot of nausea and pain. My doctor started me on puréed foods but it does not agree with me so I called the nurse and she had me go back to straight liquid. I feel a little better, not so nauseous. I am taking a blood thinner for 8 days so I am giving myself shots. Everything is overwhelming now but I hope it gets better.
