Brenda:
when do you plan on "advancing" your diet a little - to see if you can eat more normally? The pyloroplasty is a procedure I have been considering - I am not quite ready for it yet - but if things get any worse I will definitely consider it. I am anxious to hear if you can eat normally after it (or close to normal).

I had a telehealth visit with the surgeon yesterday. He said I should continue to improve over the next 2 months.
Then he had me make an appointment with a Gastroenterologist to guide me through the adding of new foods. I have that appointment in February.
I am just so happy to not be in pain all the time with cramping. The surgery was well worth it!
I will update as I begin to add more foods.
He said it takes about 3 months to get the full recovery from the pyloric valve opening. He said it hasn’t had time to fully open yet.
