Update- About 1 Month Post-Mytomy

[Guest guest]

Hey guys- just thought I'd update you on my status since my surgery. I'm feeling

SO much better. I'm not in any pain anymore (no gas pains from surgery, no

incision pain, no referred pain), and I can eat so much easier now. It's odd to

NOT feel the food go down. Living with A for so long, I got so used to chugging

water until I felt that little painful push of food into the stomach. Now I feel

things pass without any restraint. It's awesome. I also feel like I have a ton

more energy now that my body isn't struggling to process its nutrients. I can

breathe better too. No more aspiration. No more coughing and damaging my lungs.

All the scabs fell off my incisions and now they're just pink lines that no

doubt will fade to nearly nothing in time.

For those of you skeptical about having surgery, let me tell you, so was I. I

still have my concerns. I had a little bit of heartburn the other day, but one

zantac later, it was gone. Unfortunately for all of us, there is no cure, but

I'm so happy I had this surgery done. It feels like a new lease on life.
