UGH…Please, please, please…do not go through someone who has never done
this type of surgery. This was one of the hardest surgeries I have ever
had in my life.
There is allot of pain associated with it. My physician was actually a
PHD. who was a professor at Univ. of OK. I was diagnosed by Dr. Greg
Krempl, but he did not
do the surgery because he had never done one. He referred me to Dr Layton
Runkle M.D. who had done about 7 previous to mine. He has already retired.
Dr. Krempl is still on staff at OU Medical. I am an insulin dependent
diabetic and we heal very slowly…I sat up in a recliner every night for
about 4 months because I
could not swallow properly, or eat. The first sip, and I do say
sip…burned going down and that was Daisani. My husband worked with
Frito-Lay(Pepsico) and they sell
Aqua Fina. My husband brought me one to see if I could drink that,
whew…it went down smoothly. Not sure what the difference was except,
maybe Daisani might put
a little sodium in it???
It was a long process and I lost 40 lbs. and I…was on FMLA at work. For
me, I was blessed that my husband kept working and making sure that I could
recover.
If you need any help, or information to help you, email me. Best of luck
and keep us all informed as to how you are getting on with this “devil” we
have to deal with.
