All good

3 month post-op was today. I am doing fantastic. Other than the very painful trapped UPPER gas pains, all is well. He said for that he may send me back to the GI. It could be a Gluten intolerance or it could go back to the Gastroparesis. I will tell you it hurts and nothing helps because it is in the top part of my abdomen and not down low by my rectum. I have been on 8 MCG of Amitiza twice per day, this has helped with distention. He wrote a prescription for the 24 MCG 1 or 2 per day to see if it helps. I will keep you guys updated.

Truly Happy

Almost 3 months out

It has been awhile,most things are going well. I go for my 3 month Post-op on Thursday. I have a bowel movement every day. Of course, I have been on the Amitiza quite awhile. This has reduced the bloating significantly. There are still times where I get HORRIBLE gas pains but here is the kicker,they are up by my stomach not by my rectum. It is impossible to get it out when it is that high up. Over Labor Day weekend I was in so much pain. I have no idea what it is from as it seems to come in phases.
Same thing goes with the type of BM. One week, I will have pure liquid (looks like urine) bowel movements 10 times a day ( No, I don't mind this, I acutally prefer it). It doesn't hurt like diarrhea,it makes you feel so cleaned out, I thorougly enjoy pooping!lol My favorite part of the day.
Oh but going back to what I was saying, one week liquid bowel movement. The next week soft but formed, then the next week mush and not formed and then one week I barely go any when I do go(during the painful gas times). I would imagine it would have to be hormones but it doesn't line up with my Menstrual Cycle the way you think it would. So I don't know. I am so happy that I had this surgery. I feel great! I look great! 16 total pounds lost! 7 pounds away from my prebaby weight! I will post how Thursday's appointment goes,hopefully he will have some insight on the cause or cure for the upper trapped gas.
