Hi Everyone
Well I am home. I stayed in the hospital one night and the only pain i really felt was in my shoulder from the bed and my throat from the procedure itself. SO here is what happened … the procedure lasted 1 hour. They put a breathing tube thru your nose because they actually have to do the procedure thru your mouth so my previous post was incorrect. I was up in my room 2 hours later and I was restless, very thirsty and just uncomfortable. I left the next morning and actually drove myself home. Slept all day Saturday and Sunday. Went to work on Monday but with little pain and as of today, I am great. I lost 10lbs already!
My doctor here in Vegas is Dr Cottam but the day of my surgery was ironically his last day at the office so I am not sure if they have anyone at the office yet to do it but please call them, 702-313-THIN
I have kept my diet to all liquids and it hasn’t been as tough as I thought BUT I did a stupid thing last night and “tested” my stomach with 3 bites of pasta well … my stomach did not like it and it was gone faster than it went down.
I will keep you posted of my results.
