Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 .... just returned home yesterday (Thursday) evening after myotomy performed Wednesday morning. I am amazed at how smoothly the whole process went and how comfortable I feel post-surgery. I entered the operating room at 8:30 AM and was on my feet, walking the hospital hallways that same evening!! The worst of it was a mild headache and a feeling a bit nauseous during my overnight stay ... and I am a guy that needs to look the other way during needle sticks! Sure, I've got a few mild body aches and pains. They are on par with the sort of thing I've experienced with colds/flu. At home, the only pain med I am on is a tylenol/codeine syrup. After surgery, the surgeon told my wife that he doesn't know how I managed for so long (10 years since diagnosis). My esophagus was dilated/sigmoid and the only treatment I had had up until 2 days ago was a couple of dilatations. Hats off to Dr. Patti and his team at the U of Chicago Medical Center! --Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
