Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Ray, it is 9 months since I had the exact surgery. I think everyones body reacts differently. I was only 35 when I had mine. I was eating aything within a week, and it went down perfectly. Over time, as my insides " settled " a little things went down a little tougher. Some things are harder than others, but it all goes down with some nice gulps of water helping it. I remember I had heartburn and wzs on medication. I stopped the meds in a month and have had very little heartburn. I did have o take it easy when I went back to work. I went back about 3 weeks later. You will probably get a great energy boost for a while as your body is eating again. This will not last forever. Just take it slow. Your body and your mind will slowly recover.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Hey Ray good to hear from you.Sounds like you are doing well.I would say stay away from heavy lifting and strenous activities still for a few more weeks.My son is 1 month today too from having his open myotomy done and he thinks he can take on anything and hes healed.The thing is you may feel fine but... inside your still healing.Just take it slow and easy as long as you can to heal fully. You should be able to go away from the mushy diet by now I thought. has been eating a normal diet for about a week now and having no problems with stickage except one day and that was from irritation I believe.Today all is fine. I bet once your comfortable trying you will see that stuff is finally going to go down well.It will all be worth it then. Stay in touch and let us know once you progress to a normal diet how things are going ok.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Dear Ray, It depends very much on the type of work that you do. The biggest no-no at the moment is heavy lifting. It will be several months before you can regain your normal strength in that department. If you do not have to lift, then this sounds about right for the time to return to work from your report. I hope that you continue to progress well, Love from Ann in England XXrayzor581 <rayzor97@...> wrote: Hi to all here, I have been pretty slack in the comunication department since my laproscopic Heller on 27/10.My appologees to all that have helped me pre op.
