should i be concerned?
hi all. i’m 4 weeks post-op. i just started soft
foods sunday. i’m having a problem with tenderness and
actual soreness around the top third of my incision.
i’ve had some problems keeping food down the last few
days. could this be from the vomiting? should i call my
doctor? thanx.

Dear Dyan: Every one of your concerns should be
discussed with your doctor. Don’t just sit back and "think"
that what you are going through is "normal" until your
doctor tells you it is normal. Vomiting should not be
considered normal. If you are taking things slow, vomiting
shouldn’t be happening. You shouldn’t be overly concerned,
BUT you are paying your doctor to keep your mind
relieve of worry….take advantage of it. <br><br>Helen

Dyan,<br> I am a very strong advocate of doctors
EARNING the thousands they charge! CALL you dr and ask
your questions.. even if he/she just tells you all is
okay…. but it will put your mind at ease! I am with
Helen on the vomiting issue. I had a problem after
surgery… but it was caused by a stomach virus… after I
became accustomed to my new diet, I have had few cases
of vomiting. Normally if I did (notice it is in the
PAST! yea!) it was bcause I tried to slip in something
my doctor said NOT to eat and I ate it by accident!
By following his directions to a "t" I have had no
problems and I am very happy with the results!<br><br>Good
Luck! You are in my prayers!<br>Cindy… <br>I should
put "W" after my name as there are now 2 Cindy’s out
there! Happy to share the space!
