I had surgery a week ago (Aug 29th). No pain. No problems. Was told I had 1/3 stomach out (above diaphragm). Was in hospital 1-1/2 days. Have not taken one pain pill. I had the lapiscopy work with lynx in Colorado-US. Only complaint--- had some swallowing issues second morning but it did not last long. Was on liquids (broth, jello, liquid soups); moved to soft foods (couple bites) every 2 hours. Now going to a little more substance tomorrow.

I had three major pre-tests--- the camera; an hour long scan; and the cord down your throat. Don't remember tech names. For the camera one, it was done in hospital and I was put out.

My symptoms were fairly controllable with medications. But the last couple of years, I was in vomit mode too. There were 2 main reasons I had surgery. (1). The acid you belch up can ruin the lining around your esophagus and create esophagus cancer. I have Already had breast cancer and have GERD friend's who are now esophagus pre-cancer. (2) I am having extensive back surgery in Nov. while u r under anesthesia, you can belch up and it go into lungs--- causing pneumonia. So my surgery was to fix a problem that kept increasing and avoid major future issues!!!
