Brenda:
i had communicated with you via this site a few weeks ago - soon after you had the pyloroplasty. Can you tell me in what way your symptoms have improved status post the pyloroplasty. i.e. where you throwing up prior and are not now, did you have pain prior and none now - were you limited as to WHEN/how much you could eat and are not now etc. i am considering it. My main symptoms are gas/distension/pain/slight nausea/and i don't eat ANYTHING solid after 2 pm otherwise i cannot lay down to sleep. As it is that is the worst part of it - laying down with "food from the day" in my stomach - gas pain wakes me up throughout the night.. Thanks Denise

After my Pyloroplasty I was really sore for the 1st two weeks. The surgeon put me on liquids for 3 weeks. I get better every day. Prior to the surgery I was in bed for days at a time cramping so badly and had severe constipation.
Now I am eating soft foods but the main thing is I am no longer in pain!!!! The surgeon said I would continue to improve over 3 month period.
I feel so much better. I have no problem eating before I go to bed. He has referred me to a Gastroenterologist to guide me into eating more foods.

The Pyloroplasty has relieved my constant cramping. I suffered for over 3 years.
Has relieved my constipation also. I am eating more foods now. I can eat before going to bed. I have not had meats or raw veggies or fruits. I will see a new Gastroenterologist on Feb 13 who was recommended by my surgeon to lead me along the path to adding foods. I was on liquids for weeks following the surgical procedure. The relief from my constant pain has just given me a new life!!
