3 months

Today is exactly three months from when I had my surgery. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is "normal" at this point in recovery. I am so tired most of the time, no matter how I sleep, and I was wondering how long this would last. I also still have the swelly belly. I have had acid reflux for about ten years now, and it seems like it's coming back again, but worse. I tried taking Prilosec, which I've taken before, but it didn't seem to be doing much good. I also saw on the internet that one of the possible side effects of Prilosec is bloating and excess gas. I spoke to my GP and he has now put me on Prevacid. I hope this helps quickly as it feels like the acid reflux is raising my blood pressure occasionally. (Sometimes I can feel a little pressure behind my ears and right below them.) I don't know if it is possible for acid reflux to affect blood pressure or not. I have also had anxiety at times, but I think that it might be due to the temporary "spikes" in my blood pressure.

Hello hope you get to feeling better. If you go to the post op section it has info. for weekly and monthly post op checkpoints. Good luck, hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for the information. I will definitely go there today. Also, thanks for the words of encouragement. I am glad that I found this site. I have learned a lot, and it helps to know that I am not alone in some of the things that are going on during my recovery.
