Dr Appointment Today - ThinnerTimes

Well, I have my follow up today for my stricture, ulcer, and anemia. I had my blood work drawn yesterday. Hopefully I am not anemic anymore. (Keeping fingers crossed) I know my ulcer is doing better because it does not hurt NOTHING like it used to and I only feel it every once in a while. I am worried about the stricture though. I feel it is coming back again. UGH! I am starting to have problems drinking again and when I eat my meals (I call it eating, but it's full liquids) I feel like it even hangs sometimes. There sure is a lot of gurgling and rumbling going on down in there. Does anyone have a problem with this? Mine is so loud that people around me can hear it. It's sort of embarassing when in a quiet place in public. I had it so bad today that I actually felt I growled like an animal in my throat a few times while just sitting and watching tv. Just wondering if I am really strange or if anyone else has experienced this. I'll update you on the results of my visit when I get home later this evening. Cant wait to weigh again at the drs. office. Hope I have lost a few more lbs.

My stomach did the same thing after I had the surgery. It can be very embarrassing. I would say it did that all the time for the first 3-4 months. Now it is not so bad. But it still does it sometimes especially if I eat something that the stomach did not like too well or if I try something new to eat. It is something that does get better over time and you do get used to it.
