I wanted to wait until I felt better to write a testimonial but here I am 16 days after surgery and still not feeling any better. My pre-op leading up to surgery was fine no problems at all going to and from Mexico. After surgery I had constant gas pain and nausea, tried everything nothing worked. A week later the gas pain went away and I started to get weak and tired. I can not walk for more than five minutes before getting completely exhausted, weak and tired. I am taking B-12 vitamins drinking plenty of water and clear liquid. The protein shakes and soup makes me vomit so I tried adding additional water with no good results. Right now am on clear liquid diet because that's all my stomach can take. I am hoping with time I will feel better so I can have a positive outlook on the surgery. Right now I wish I didn't had the surgery because of everything I have been through so far.
