Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Just thought I'd post my experience. I had the heller myotomy with the half wrap done in Portland oregon at OHSU by Dr Hunter on Wednesday. I awoke in recovery with an extremely sore throat that was very dry from the general. I had problems with my left shoulder hurting and the doctor told me that that was the result of the lap gas that they gave me to keep the diaphram still. So I have put hot pads on it for 2 days. Interesting enough, the abodomen has not hurt at all or any of the chest area. I left the hospital on Friday at noon. Early this morning I experienced a very painful E spasm which in my delerium I downed some of the liquid pain medicine that was prescribed. Otherwise I am off the drugs. I am fantasizing about food....this is extremely hard being on a liquid diet for a total of 10 days. I can't wait until next Thursday so I can have pured food in the VitaMix. I am really wanting some mashed potates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
