My wife had a 3 part spinal fusion done to correct a progressing 60 degree double curve. She is now fused from pelvis to upper mid-back (t-7 i think). Dr. Shelokov in Plano TX performed the surgery and she has been happy with him and his office.
Her back seems pretty good. There is some pain at times but not the pain she was having before the surgery. The issue is her stomach. She has always been able to eat well. But now it is a struggle as she never feels hungry. To complicate things more her stomach stays 'upset'. Not nausea but definitely unsettled. She has had a full gastro battery of tests done and the Dr's could not identify anything that could be causing this. She is taking GERD medication. At times she has anxiety issues.
Her quality of life is low now. She spends most of each day in bed since she doesn't feel good. Usually she will take our daughter to and from school and may run short errands.
Any ideas, suggestions or leads to follow would be appreciated.
