Welcome back Jean !!!!!! SO glad the surgery is all over with. You certainly were struggling for a long time, always in pain. Hopefully you will heal quickly with no more nasty pain.

Continue to take care of yourself. Rest as much as possible and get better. when you are ready, looking forward to seeing you back on the forum, as you were greatly missed!
Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

Ahhh, Jean. we hope you are having a quick recovery, from a successful surgery. Love, Pam & Tucker
Tucker was a shepherd/lab mix--- TLI 1.3, Folate 9.7, Cobalamin 666, Lipase 38. Took Diane's Enzymes 4 teaspoons/day, Wonderlabs B12 one capsule per day, and Tylan 1/16 teaspoon/ morning (to hold SID at bay). Taste of the Wild High Prairie, 1 1/2 cups/day, with a total of 4 cups of Fresh Pet. Stopped eating everything in sight, and went from 60 to 85 pounds! Tucker was my boyfriend, and my husband was OK with that. Tucker succumbed to hemangiosarcoma, but we cherished every day we had with that wonderful, beautiful boy. I will always, always miss my sweet big boy.

No apologies needed Jean. Glad you're back and hopefully getting some relief from the pain.
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.

Hi Jean. We are so glad the surgery is over and you are on your way to complete recovery. AND we are so glad to have you back. But don't try to do too much and give yourself a setback. If you need to take breaks, we certainly understand. Take your time. It's only been a week! I can't believe you are already posting.
