    NSAIDs

    And I probably will never receive them again. You see I developed an. lovely gastric ulcer on Omeprazole thearpy, Advill tried to eat a hole in me., nearly succeeded- that's why I am on Dexilant, a different PPI, their Omeprazole was not gastroprotective in my case. Now I still am on Carafate 6am- noon- 6pm- midnight into perpetuity, or it at the least feels that way.

    Bowel Movements

    Well children I had shoulder surgery April 4, put on Norco postt And 5 guesses where I am visiting? I think my constipation tendency has turned into obstipation, or close thereon to. As soon as Tomkitten gets up we will be off to the ER, been taking twice daily. Miralax, took a dose of MoM last evening to no avail. Seems not to be hard but my rectal muscles don't seem able to pass it out. Oh Me, Oh My!💩
  10. so your surgery birthday and regular birthday are forever linked. I think that is pretty cool !
  11. Many of us have traveled a different path to find a surgeon. Did you find yours because of a recommendation of your primary care physician? Did you choose yours because of a friend's recommendation? Did you apply to a certain bariatric program and they assigned yours to you? Or did you travel a different path yet?

    Just not feeling good

    May need to speak with someone skilled in Bariatrics. You may be suffering from a post- surgical depression , they do happen more than what you would think.

  18. Well mine, at 73, is what it is. Not that predictable, didnt, plan for stenosis, ulceration, PICC line, pneumonia ( none bacterial, not quite viral, what does that leave? Fungal? ) Well I can be a Fun Gal dont think that was they had in . mind! Finish off with March, the month of Iron and Reclast infusions. And then there was the 30 pound weight drop and n ow I have had upper right surgery, last Thursday, and this one I am not Shaking off too good. Had to have hardware from my surgical repair of humerus removed, been b.s. 9 years and I it kind of turned against me, some speculation that could have caused the pneumonia, a pocket of something. While ortho in there he decided to fix up my rotator cuff instead of of bringing me back for another surgery in a couple months. Yeeouch, I know someone who's getting a 5 inch lump of coal in his stocking this year!
