Greetings! My name is Tracy. I just had RNY due to severe reflux on March 19th. I had a complication 4 days later that led to me having an additional surgery to alleviate a bowel adhesion. I’m about 3.5 weeks po from the original surgery. Just need some encouragement to get through this. Trying to adjust to this new normal.
 
How are you feeling, Tracy? That must have scary going through that complication and additional surgery. My heart goes out to you. You are not alone. I'm new here, but I already feel welcome, supported, listened to, and encouraged. You've got this! Take things one day at a time, don't push yourself too hard, and keep talking to us. We are here to support one another.

Hi! Thank you for replying. Everyday is different but having more good days than bad! Praise God! I will absolutely take your advice and take it slow.
