Hi Richie,

I felt better the day after my lap heller myotomy with Dr. Katz

because I could eat anything I wanted and I could actually swallow

it. The incisions take about a week to stop being annoying and I was

near normal in two weeks when I had my follow up visit. I was back

to work in two weeks. You have chosen an excellent surgeon.
