Sounds as if Dr. Macura and his surgical staff have their heads screwed on correctly. He must be a great doc. >I'm tired, will talk soon. Lots of belching. Belching is good. So is farting.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2001 Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 Welcome to the other side !! Each day gets better. So just work on getting in your water, and walking. You rest inbetween!! If water is hard on the tummy make hot tea--I don't understand it but it goes down like a dream. Will be watching your progress!!

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Hi , Warm tea was about the only liquid I could get in me the first week or so after surgery. I used herbal...most the mint medley and tasted good and felt good. Best of luck.. Sheri 9/28/01 lap/open Ds Dr Herron NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 Hey switch brother! Hugs and welcome home! I was in the hospital up until Saturday...a few interesting complications. Have felt great for days and today is the first day I am feeling a bit punk. Glad to hear you are home and recovering. Odd thing is, talking for me is kinda difficult as I feel like I swallow air and also run out of breath. Good incentive for me to shut up for a change! Laughing.
