Bonawanabfree 280 Posted March 12, 2015 @Nikkidoodlebug. I'm sorry things are rough right now. I'm home now and feeling a little better. My stomach feels like it's got a bubble in it. My sense of taste is totally off. Keep your chin up. You are stronger than you think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikkidoodlebug 120 Posted March 15, 2015 Well last night around 11:00 pm they took me back to the O.R. And had to have a second surgery, my stomach was going up into my esophagus and that is why nothing could go down. So now I'm in hella pain because he had to suture my stomach down in place and loosen up the hernia he repaired the first surgery . So now I have a drain pump that I have to have for a week and then go back to have it removed. So has anyone had this happen to them. I just can't wait to feel better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProjectMe 909 Posted March 15, 2015 @@Nikkidoodlebug I'm so sorry to hear about this. I'm glad that they found the cause and hope you feel better soon! Take care! I have had the drain on a couple other occasions for Thyroid cancer. While they look weird/gross...they didn't hurt and the surgeon removed mine without pain. The drain helps with keeping the swelling down so you can heal faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
