OK, so how the heck do they get that much stomach out of those little holes? My surgery was Monday - 12/12. Hardest part of all was not being able to drink anything the rest of the day. My mouth was so unbelievably dry. I finally talked nurse into letting me brush my teeth and that was the very best time I ever had brushing my teeth.
My surgeon was telling me Tues morning that he uses a long acting anesthetic both inside and I think outside on the holes and that you don't really feel the pain for a couple of days and by then the most of the pain is over. I had almost no pain and had a three hour drive home yesterday with no issues and felt very comfortable.
NOW I understand the sip and walk though. It is really tough without that.
As of 12/12 - no diabetic medications, no blood pressure meds and no statin drugs for cholesterol. Blood sugars twice a day are in the 100 - 120 range too.
Wish I had done this back a few years instead of waiting till I'm 71. Can already feel a huge difference.
