I have had 2 Nissan surgeries, one in 2012 when I was 53yo and had bad GErD that turned into Barrett’s esophagus, the surgery went well, it took me about 6-8 weeks to fully recover . Then I had one Nov 6 2024, tomorrow will be 60 days , I lost 35lbs since the last surgery which made the surgeon happy and the surgery easier, I was up and walking 40 min after getting out of surgery. I felt pretty good until about day 45 after surgery, when I would eat my last meal of the night, no matter if it was a small piece of fish or a cup of soup, I’d get support nausea within 30 min of eating , my blood sugar would shoot up to ungodly numbers that I’d never seen before like 350, and then I would crash and BS would go down to 50. I would have to take 1 and sometimes two zofron. My surgeon was of little help and says , “sometimes this happens , talk to me in 90days” . I was miserable , I’m in healthcare and have many Dr friends , so I go to my Chinese Dr and she tells me to do three things. 1. Drink a cup of hot water after dinner. 2. As soon as that’s gone go for an 20 min walk. 3. When u get back put a red light band across your stomach for 20 min. I did this and the problem went away within 24 hours, after having it for nearly 3 weeks. She said sometimes the surgeon damages nerves that assist the stomach in emptying. The three elements she introduced help repair. Over the last six days , no problems , feel like I’m on the road to recovery !

What's a red light band?
