This Isn’t Your Doctor’s Gastrectomy Guide.

But it might just be the one that actually helps you cope.

Welcome to NoStomach.life — a brutally honest, occasionally disgusting, and completely unfiltered guide to surviving life after a total gastrectomy. If you’ve ever dry-heaved bile at 2 a.m. and thought, “Is this normal?”—you’ve found your people.

👋 Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Kimmie.

I had my stomach removed. It saved my life, but no one warned me what life without a stomach would really be like. The barfing. The bowel reflux. The baby-shaped hernias. This site is my way of telling the truth, helping others, and laughing through the gag reflex.

Survivor. Oversharer. Reflux reclaimer.
