Good news also with my situation, after a week staying off ibuprofen and using diclofenac topical, and taking 40 mg of Pepcid my stomach upset in the morning has finally gone away -- hopefully for good. I've had 2 mornings in a row without waking up sick.

As for the chest pains, @astaingegerdm is probably right that it's my diaphragm, because deep breathing also triggers the tingling pain. I've been doing a lot of stretching, 3 times a day. I think this is critical, and everyone who's had this surgery ought to see a physical therapist when they are ready. The reason is all the scar tissue inside the abdomen. I got a copy of my operative report and since this was my 2nd surgery, my surgeon had to work through a ton of adhesions just to get to my celiac trunk. Apparently there was a mass of neural tissue encasing the celiac origin that she removed, and the ligament also needed to be cut away much higher.

I still have a lot of worries, probably irrational ones, that it will come back yet again or something else will go wrong. I don't like the fact that I had so much scar tissue in me, but overall I'm in less pain at this point compared to where I was after the 1st surgery so that seems like a good sign. I've heard many people mention 3-4 months as the time frame to assess the surgery outcome, so until then I'm just going to keep stretching and hope this is the end of this miserable MALS saga.
