Back home already

I had a good experience with the surgery, and spent less than 36 hours in the hospital total. I couldn't sleep there at all, as the heart rate monitor keep blaring (my heart rate was 55-60), and the bed wasn't comfortable (actually, my back hurt worse than my belly

). I'm glad the doctor sent me home so soon because I'll make a faster recovery at home.

And it turned out that my hiatial hernia was much larger than it showed on the endoscopy, so he fixed that too. I haven't had an esophageal spasm since the surgery. Quite a change from 30-40 a day.

Thank you Dr G!

Congrats on getting home. I too was in worse back pain than belly pain (in fact, even my gas pain radiated into my back, very bizarre).

You're off to a galloping start. Just remember to sip, walk, sip, and add some laughter too!
