Guest guest Posted June 16, 2000 Report Share Posted June 16, 2000 , According to Dr.R the titanium staples in the new tummy are healed over by the body within 5-7 days after surgery. I think you should e-mail Dr. R....Debbie said he will be checking his e-mails while out of town. Take it easy..... and listen to your tummy. Have you tried any watermelon with salt....Dr. R told me the fatigue is from not enough salt. The blood issue should be addressed by Dr.R......it's probably something he would like to know about. Eat lots of yogurt because it coats the tummy and don't forget the Tums.... try the berry flavored ones, they really taste good. Each day things get a little better....as Rexanne reminded me the other day....I have been through major surgery, I've been off my hormones and thyroid meds and I am now stimulant free..no cokes or tea. It's ok to feel a little yucky.... One of the first things I tried and it helped me is Better Cheddar Crackers. For some reason mashed potatoes hurt like hell the first time I tried them. Oddly enough when you are ready try Kraft Easy-Mac. It comes in a box of 6 and you prepare it in the microwave. I find it really is easy on the tummy. Call me if you want to talk.817/577-0919.
