Guest guest Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I am telling myself that at 2 weeks plus 2 days post op that the HM and Dor were a grand success. Although my hunger, etc isn't back yet I am able to get just about anything down. Still taking it very easy texture wise but have had the odd treat. I haven't needed the PPI for two days and nothing for pain in a while. I haven't used diltiazem in a while either. I look good. I have colour in my cheeks and energy. I could just kiss my surgeon!LOL Jenn Sent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 This is good. Congrats.  Suzanne From: Jenn Gerrits <adoptivemommy@...> Subject: Success! achalasia Date: Friday, May 11, 2012, 4:44 AM  I saw the surgeon yesterday in Halifax. He says that I'm doing very well. I have no more restrictions. I can go back to the gym! He wants me to get a scope done every two years. I am off of all of my medications except for my antidepressant. I am impressed! And happy!!!! he told me I made his day yesterday! - a very happy Jenn Sent from Jenn's iPhone (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Jenn, this is wonderful! AND, it just keeps getting better! I finally dropped the enzymes last week (four months plus post Heller), and everything keeps working -- though I do think they were a big help in getting my tummy used to working again, lol! Gosh the poor thang had had hardly a thing to do for six months before that. I still have an occasional bad afternoon or evening, but man, what registers for me as bad now is not remotely to be compared to what bad was six months ago. Now, it's just a slight sense that I've eaten too much without adding enough liquid, and maybe a bit of regurging. Haven't had to use the cup in the car for three months!! And I am not constantly evaluating if I'll make it for a half hour away from a " regurge station " grin. And haven't even used my blender in a month. Or checked to make sure I had enough soup for the week. Still trending to soft foods, and maybe I always will, but no comparison with that gawdawful feeling of taking three swallows of coffee and feeling it come right back! Keep it up! xox > > I am telling myself that at 2 weeks plus 2 days post op that the HM and Dor were a grand success. Although my hunger, etc isn't back yet I am able to get just about anything down.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Coffee was my worst offender for spasms before I had my surgery. I had gotten into drinking herbal tea instead. I have had coffee three times in the last week with no issues. I haven't had a spasm in probably close to three weeks. I'm learning to start loving this body all over again LOL Sent from Jenn's iPhone (: On May 11, 2012, at 8:19, " puddleriver13 " <puddleriver13@...> wrote: > > > Jenn, this is wonderful!
