So far I've had a remarkable recovery, no gas, no nausea, no pain, just a soreness like doing too many sit-ups. Until I sneezed - ouch!
However, I have had this alien in my belly, it growls & gurgles every time I eat or drink. It doesn't hurt per say, but it is a strange feeling like my stomach has teeth and is chewing on everything I swallow, and I "felt" hunger when I didn't expect to after the surgery. I spent the morning yesterday reading other recent surgical experiences I noticed some others were having the same symptoms, but with more pain or not being able to eat at all. One seasoned sleever suggested it was acid, not hunger or issues with our sleeve. I went and got some Pepcid and took a pill as soon as I got home, WOW, the alien was appeased, no more growling or gurgerly hunger feelings. I wish I could remember the handle of the person who mentioned the possibility of the acid so I could thank them directly, but to those of you who have gone through this process and share your knowledge and experiences I say a big thank you!
