My head is killing me. I'm trying to wait until a little later to take my prescription pain meds. I can't tell if the headache is from allergies, has in my neck or what. But it hurts. Any ideas?

I am so glad to be home. My surgery started late because the one before mine had a complication. But I got it done and I'm home within 24 hours.

I'm in intense pain this morning.  It seems like everytime I make a protein shake using the powder my stomach gets bloated and I feel really really sick and run to the bathroom a lot.

If I drink the premade shakes I don't have this problem.

I have to go to a 2 hour class on March 30 for pre-op and post-op instructions and start my liqui

Now it goes to the doctor for review and to be signed off on again, then to another lady to schedule the surgery and start me on my liquid diet, then to another lady to re-verify my benefits, up date the insurance with surgical date and payment due.

Well I took my second test to see if I have gotten rid of the HPylori in my stomach.  I am praying that its gone.  This is the only thing that is holding me up from having my paperwork submitted to the insurance.  My doctor will not do the surgery unti
