Common Questions and Answers about Stomach wrap
stomach
hi my name is wanda, and on december first of last year i had a stomach wrap for gerd. ever since the surgery my stomach has been hurting so bad. i have had gas really bad seems like all the time after i eat its really bad! i dont know if its from the surgery or what? i wasnt having this kind of pain before the surgery, not sure what to think! i go back to the doctor today maybe he will have some answers i cant live like this to painful.
That surgeon did all the usual tests and concluded that the wrap was far too tight as I had an added problem of poor motility (ie food would stay in my gullet until it was ready to enter the stomach). As the wrap was so tight it pooled in the gullet hence the regurgitation and inability to swallow. I had the undo operation in 2008 and much to my dismay but anticipated, I got the acid back with vengence and now have grade 4 erosion in the gullet and stomach.
Its been 5months that i had a c-section, and my belly still looks like its about the size of 6month pregnant. Does using a belly wrap at this time around really work to flatten the stomach? I havent used it anytime after my delivery and its my first baby...am really worried if my tummy is gonna stay like this forever...
Has anyone used a wrap for the belly after baby was born? I hear mixed reviews about it. Does it help? Any good products out there? What's your experience.
I'm having a planned c-section. I'm looking for a stomach wrap to wear when I have my baby. Where is the best place to get one or is there a proper name for it? Maybe I can't find one because I'm searching the wrong item.
We have talked before. Think I only needed hernia fixed and not wrap. Need this wrap out. Yes. Am trying to get appt with Cleveland oh hospital that is 2 in country for gi disease. And will need other opinions and looking for some specialist to undo wrap but it might not work. Do u know anything about Cleveland? If u know any specialists let me know. Thx.
A partial wrap is an option if you have motility problems ie the muscles in the gullet do not push the food down into the stomach. My full wrap gave me so many problems because of this and it was too tight to accommodate my condition. The first surgeon did not take it into consideration. I have changed surgeons and he is more experienced and has been really good. I should have had the operation last week and now I am having second thoughts.
One method of controlling the tightness was to pass a dilator down the esophagus when the wrap was performed. He also changed the length of the wrap. As it turns out, a very loose, or what we have come to term "floppy" wrap is quite effective at preventing reflux but has a very low incidence of either swallowing trouble or gas-bloat syndrome. By the time these were being done laparoscopically the floppy Nissen had become the accepted standard for an anti-reflux procedure.
Sometimes the nerves that are in your chest area radiate pain outward and even wrap around to your back, causing the sensation of pain in remote areas of the body. This is according to my husband's chiropractor. Your other symptoms are associated with poor digestion.
I did not think about it until too late that maybe the acid was there because my stomach moved and if it was put back into place maybe I would not need the wrap. Well, I have had problems ever since the surgery. My stomach is huge and tight, I choke on food and drink (no alcohol) and now have shortness of breath to the point of choking. I have some secretions that keep rising up in my chest and throat and more.
t the obvious answer be that the wrap has slipped (especially if a camera placed down my throat inside of my stomach showed the slip)? I am so irritated because these are the same exact symptoms that I had prior to the surgery, the endoscopy has shown where the wrap has slipped, and yet I am still having to have more test done...WHY???
honestly, your QUICKEST bet is HONESTLY, breastfeeding...or pumping. it tightens all your stomach muscles and helps you look the way you did before pregnancy. remember to just work out and work on your abs....my sister wore a wrap when ever she exercised.
Typically with the Nissen fundoplication surgery you can get a full wrap or partial wrap. I got a partial wrap so have no problems burping. I haven't had to puke so I'm not sure if it's possible. My asthma and GERD symptoms are gone and I can swallow with no problems. Since the surgery I've been dealing with stomach cramps and nausea. Some days are pretty bad and the docs are still trying to work on this.
Ideally, one would want to allow this material enough time to pass into your stomach. Facilitating this is, in part, dependent on carrying it into the stomach with food or liquid. What often works is the repeat swallowing of boluses of bread without the crust or cereals such as thick Cream of Wheat. For liquids, the more viscous, semi-liquid, the better as it is more capable of carrying the plastic along than thin liquids. Examples of this would be milkshakes or yogurt.
I don't have a Boba wrap I have a Moby wrap and it is definitely worth the money. I also have 3 differnt slings 2 different carriers and the wrap is so much better for my back. Both for my girls loved it and hoping my 3rd baby girl will to.
She did not have any condoms so used plastic wrap to cover my penis, which at the time seemed to make sense.The wrap did not tear and her mouth never made contact with any other part of my body, I have a couple of questions.
1) What is my risk assessment for HIV and any other STDs.?
2)Can I resume my normal sex life right away? Should ask my doctor for antibiotics just in case I was infected with an STD?
3) In terms of herpes, she did not have any sores or lesions.
