About 1-2 weeks recovery. I was up taking long walks right away, but not much more, yet.
The first couple days were kind of bad, it was tough to swallow. I’m actually pretty good now and tomorrow will be one week.
If you or your friend have any questions, feel free to ask, I’ve done a ton of research. I jumped through hoops to get to the doctor at UC Davis, perhaps one of the best in the world, at this surgery.
The most important thing could be to have an experienced surgeon do it, it’s kind of intricate and there are things that can go wrong.
