Hi Gary, Thanks to you also for the reply. John doesn't feel like this all the time - with the nausea and vomoting, but it occasionally flares up it seems. He does tend to eat at odd hours - but his appetite is just not the same as it used to be pre-surgery. I suppose this is due to the swelling and all the after-effects. Some days are better than others - and I'm hoping this is just one of those "things" that occur as part of the healing process. Anyways - When we hear more from the doctor - we'll keep you posted. Thanks again.
