One year post op

Well my replacement pacer was a year old on 9th April - it's been an eventful year for me on a personal level and on a 'unrelated to gastroparesis health issues' level.
The pacer has done it's job effectively throughout this, and coped fairly well with my increased stress levels.
Approximately 12 weeks ago I began to bloat more, and within a couple of weeks the nausea/vomiting had begun to increase too - which pointed to an adjustment being due. Whilst awaiting the adjustment appointment the symptoms proved annoying but more or less manageable.
The pacer settings were tweeked two days ago and hopefully I will be back to my form of 'normal' soon.
The incision is tidy and is becoming paler as time goes by - although from the previous pacer surgery I would anticipated that it will remain pretty much the same.
