Got another surgery coming up

I feel like I should be in the Guinness book of records for the most stomach surgeries. I had 5 stomach surgeries oh wait 6 including gallbladder since 2010. Crazy right?

I finally thought it be the end , nope! In march I started feeling pain again. This time it was where my open incision was done . It didn't heal right. My luck. The staples were taken out in the hospital because the area got infected. After I was a wound vac. That was a nightmare.

It looks all weird. I get pulling and burning pain. I got an incisional hernia. Now everyone has seen commercials about mesh. Though last night I met someone that had it done. Happy I didn't hear a bad story. This is an on going journey .

How to know your Nissen fundoplation failed

How I know my Nissen fundoplation failed and slips. I had got burning pain so badly pain in my stomach and heart burn. I would fell the burning going up. Sometimes I couldn't even sit up. I would lay down for a while. Nothing would help the pain go away. It would last and be on going. I would never throw up anymore. Then all of a sudden I threw up. After that I would feel my stomach muscles killing. The burning pain. It wouldn't go away till I had to repeat the surgery and fix it. First I would do a barium swallow to make sure it slipped. Yes barium is not that fun to drink. The scan is 1-2-3 easy. The test will show where the Nissen fundoplation is and if there is a hitial hernia. They say every 7 years you might have to do it over. For me it was every two years. Yes you will have pain. Even with pain you have to wait to get a date to have surgery again. Of course larascopic is the easiest. After two surgeries I had to have it open thoracic. The pain and recovery was hard. T

Vitamins

Talking about vitamins in general and after stomach surgeries. I hate pills. I crush everything , take liquid or take chewable. Well I found about patch md. They make patches. Which helps a lot because not everyone can swallow or likes flavors of certain pills. My blood result came back everything was normal. Which means they do absorb and work. I wear the patches at night . When I was away I did flinstone chewables and caltrate chewable vitamins. Also if my order don’t come in time , I forget to order more I take them. Both flavor taste good . The only thing low was iron, that I’m anemic . Which I had brought a liquid from whole food, chewable from vitamin shop , and liquid of wellness . I haven’t tried any but the chewable. The taste of it is good. I take one a day with breakfast. It does not bother my stomach either . Also I take dissolvable biotin. As well as I use certain it’s a ten and vitamin E hair products. Another I take is b12 dissolvable. I know people ask flavor taste? The
