Need Some Info from you ROSE / EROS patients out there

Hi all, I'm having the EROS (a/k/a ROSE)  procedure this month. It will be done on a Friday and I'll leave the hospital on Saturday. How long before I might be able to return to work - I have an office/desk job. My doctor says, I could probably be back to work the Monday after the surgery. What have your experiences been like??? Nan-C

Hi Nan;You will have no problem going back to work on Monday.A few days of a very sore throat is about the extent of it.My experience with the ROSE has been positive so far..Good luck to you..Patsy

Patsy, Thanks so much for your help...how has it been so far - Feeling full, weight loss, etc. - Nan C

Hi Nan-C, Had the ROSE on Tues. July 8 and back at work yesterday (July 10th).  Sore throat was pretty much gone yesterday too.  I was released from same day surgery unit about 6 hours after the procedure (probably could have left earlier, but I took a nap )

Hi Nan...

 

I too was released the same day and was back to work 2 days later with no problems....You'll do great!!

Hi Christine,

Thanks for your help. How has it been for you so far? How long ago did you have the ROSE/EROS procedure? How has eating been? Have you encountered any problems? How has your weight loss been? What advice would you give? Thanks again - Nan C

Hi Smile750, good to know I'll can be back to work so soon. I just got back to work from breast-reduction surgery and don't want to take any more time off right now. How has it been for you so far? eating wise, weight loss, any problems? Nan C

Hi everyone - I am having the ROSE done tomorrow (Wednesday) but am wondering about the diet afterward.  The docs office sent some paperwork for a diet after "general" esophgeul (sp?) surgery.  I don't think I agree with it.  It has me starting out on pureed/mushy foods - 1/2 cup here and 3/4 cup there.  That seems like an awful lot.  Were you all on liquids after yours?  How long?  Can you give me some detailed menus?  Thanks for any help I can get - I want this to work so bad! ~Linda~
