any post op stomaphyx around

How are you doing.  What do you eat post op. How is your weight loss.

My stomaphyx is scheduled for next Wed., Aug. 8 with Dr. Overcash. I will be glad to recount my experiences when I get back home! Pat in Virginia Beach

Pat, I'm so excited for you!  I will definitely be thinking about you.  I guess you fly out Monday & come back on a Thursday.  That was what I was doing.  I kinda wish I had a group to play in Orlando with while I was down there.  I'm really looking forward to hearing about your experience. Amy

Hi Pat, Congratulations on your procedure.  I'll be anxious to hear about your experience too. Much success for you tomorrow...I'll be thinking of you. Cathy

I had the StomaphyX procedure 2 days ago with Dr. Overcash in FL.  He and the entire hospital staff were outstanding---friendly, efficient, professsional.  The operation went well, although it was more intense and painful than I thought it would be. I woke up in a lot of pain and they gave me a shot for pain  and let me sleep for 2 hours after I left the recovery room. Now, I am just very sore; it even hurts to breathe deeply. I have NO regrets and I recommend this procedure over a full revision. It is MUCH safer.  I am on liquids and pudding, oatmeal, jello, applesauce for 2 weeks (2/3 cup) and then I talk to the doctor again about what foods to add.  I had the procedure Wed. morning and flew back to Va Beach today---in retrospect, I would definitely have staye done more day to heal and sleep.  If I can answer any questions for anyone, please feel free to write.

It's my turn next Wednesday and I appreciate all the info.  I was going to head home afterwards, but now I'll stay a day.  Thanks and be well.

I am very interested to know how it goes. I am considering a StomaPhyx revision. Is there anyone in the San Antonio,TX area that has had it done?
