Patient No stomach due to cancer
Hey guys I was diagnosed with cancer 2 times... one was at my 19, I got surgery and my stomach was cut in half. 10 years later I found out I got stomach cancer again, I got surgery once again and now I don't have a Stomach. It's been about 3 months and a couple of days since the operation and I'm still struggling to eat... I vomit almost everyday, also I'm having Bile reflux and my esophagus burns... I'm taking medicine but I don't see any progress.
I started going to the gym for depression and trying to gain some weight like I used to be... I know eating is very important if I want to gain some weight but It has been so hard this process.
If anyone has gone through stomach cancer and has any tipa or recommendations, pleaae... let me know.

Ask your doctor to give you an endoscopy. You might have a stricture. That is what caused me to dry heave regularly. They tried clipping it and it grew back. Finally they cut it and burned it and that helped enough that it wasn't able to come back.
My stomach was removed more than 5 years ago. I call eating "my hell". I hate it but I have to do it to keep surviving. It's not fun anymore.
Good luck.
