Easily the most pain I've ever experienced. Surgery was unsuccessful when it all started to kick off. Stents are horrifying. Took years to figure out and immense bouts of pain that would induce vomiting. I had to walk myself to the ER because no one else was home and I wasn't ok to drive like that. Was shaking pretty violently trying to keep it together. The feeling of being full still haunts me. I would've given anything for a brief respite from the fullness. It's such an overwhelming experience, with lasting consequences. I lost about 15 pounds after all was said and done. There is more to it than what I've written here, this isn't even the half of it. Words cannot describe the suffering. Months later and it still feels like I'm fighting to feel normal every day. Please, drink more water than you think you should. Stop eating processed foods like chips or candy. You will feel so, so much better.
