Stomach Pain

Jul 19, 2010

It began on Thursday afternoon 7/15 - odd that it was my 7-month post op anniversary date.  Anyway, I don't know if it was caused by something I ate, drank or what.  But the pain was pretty dull and constant.  Friday morning I woke, and the pain seemed worse. Bad enough to keep me home from work. 

I called the surgeons office because anything out of the ordinary tends to make me nervous now since I've had the surgery.  It wasn't until 11:30 or so that someone finally got back to me.  After some questions and answers and such, they really didn't have an answer as to what was going on, but they told me to take Prilosec once a day and Pepcid AC twice a day for two weeks.  They said they'd call me on Monday to check on me.  I went straight to the store and got the meds.

It so happened that TOM also came for a visit around the same time so I didn't know if that could have been part of it as well.  But the pain was unfamiliar so thats why I called.

It's Monday now and the pain is no longer constant.  I do feel pain every now and then when I drink or eat...but not all the time.  The surgeons office did call me again and I told them this.  They told me to continue with the meds and call back if it gets worse or anything else comes up.  I hope I don't have to call them back.  I still don't know what the pain was and what caused it.  Puzzling??  If you have any thoughts, feel free to comment.

As for now, I'm doing better.  And I'm down another 6 lbs.  Yes!
