Hi Melanie,
My sister had gastric bypass surgery and everything went well--but there are
major exceptions to that procedure, as in your case!
May I suggest hot castor oil packs over your abdomen for an hour a day on three
consecutive days each week. To learn more about this frequently suggested Cayce
remedy, visit

A good non-narcotic painkiller is Tramadol.
I would urge all the member of this group to pray for Melanie's healing!
With best wishes,
Dudley Delany
