Yesterday afternoon I started having nausea and stomach cramping/pain. Eventually I was vomiting and went to the doctor. The doctor seems to think it's a stomach virus or I ate something. He didn't think it was gallstones because my discomfort was in t

When I left the hospital on Wednesday, the nurse told me to remove the tape and gauze 3 days from then but to leave the steri strips on. Well this morning I pulled off the tape and gauze and the strips came off on one of my wounds. It is the one neares

My surgery is on Monday 3/23. I've had reflux problems for years but nothing that couldn't be solved by taking a Tums. My problems mainly occurred at night. Since I've been on the 10 day pre-op diet my reflux and gotten a bit worse. Tums no longer work

Hi Everyone! I'm new here and my surgery is on Monday, 3/23. I've gone through a lot to reach this point and I can't believe it's almost here. I'm very nervous and scared but I'm assuming that is normal. I'm in the middle of my pre-op diet and there's
