Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Hey Amy My name is April I had my surgery on September 1st. I have had 0 problems (the only thing that is bothering me is the tube that they run down your throat during surgery has made my throat and tongue very raw) I have had very little pain, I think the hardest part for me was making my mind up that I could not eat solids for a while, my mind did not like that at all. I'm only a few days post op but I can tell you now I would definately do it all over again and again and would recommend to anyone that has a obesity problem to see Dr. Rutledge. I am only 25 miles from Durham but I can tell you I felt so good after the operation I wanted to go home that day, but Dr. R. felt that it would be best for me to stay overnight just in case, I figured I had already paid for a whole night anyways might as well follow the Doc's orders. I left the hospital around 10:30 a.m. the following morning walked right out of the hospital with no help. My husband has been great thru the whole thing and I have a two year old son so I know it has been very hard on him. Believe it or not I am back at work today I am going home around lunch cause I'm starting to get a little sore. I can't help you right now with the costs being that my surgery was only last Friday, but if you have any other questions please feel free to ask away, you can email me directly at Aprilsands@...
