That is wonderful news. Sounds like your surgery + chemo treatment was successful. But more importantly, your post-surgery has gone well. You are eating small meals and have no problems with digestion. But know that your journey is just beginning. Absent a sphincter, you will experience acid reflux and possibly bile from time to time. My mistake was trying to eat normal sized meals. That led to some gagging, vomiting and acid reflux issues. Small meals is the best prescription for our altered anatomy. Best of luck and stay positive!
