    Hi Poji, Wow I just read all that you went through. Thank God you listened to your body, got the proble fixed and now on the mend! Isnt Jennifer great? I just love her. Most of the staff I find really good their. Well keep up the good work. Im about 2 weeks behind you and I cant wait to bite into some real food!! Any helpful hints that keep you sane while on liquids? Also at your 3 week visit with Dr Higa did he let you go to solids??? Thank you!!!!Keep up the great work
  6. Hi Poji,
    Yes, ALSA is very good group and they've given me the best of care..but, I wished they would have listened to me more carefully when I started feeling that way, especially the horrible heartburn after each swallow of liquids, not to mention the feeling of food stuck in my esophagus! The worst week ever!
    Thank goodness I called Jennifer RN, and told me to go to Cardiac Heart Evaluation, where I got my xrays! I'm feeling pretty good, except for my incisions which are still tender to the touch..understandable!
    It looks like you had a rough going too and I pray your finally doing so much better.

    I am so glad your problem was resolved! You must have felt awful and so scared too!
    ALSA is a good group, but you are right in that you must be your own advocate and fight for your care, which I didn't like...As of today, how are you feeling? I am so sorry you had to go through such a rough time, but so glad you are getting better!!!
  8. Hi there, I was sleeved on Feb. 21, 2014. There were complication right after my surgery. I knew something was wrong! I felt like my food was getting stuck in my esophagus and the worst heartburn imaginable! I seriously thought this was part of the healing process, but after a week I couldn't take it no more! I was sent for x-rays and to everyone's surprise, my stomach had moved up to my esophagus which was causing blockage! I had emergency surgery the same day to pull and anchor my stomach in it's place! What a relief! I'm now mending nicely and feeling great! My advice to anyone.,please if your in any kind of pain, insist on xrays or see your doctor immediately!
