This is good to know. Everyone Immediately wants to know how I feel, if I can eat like normal and if all the problems are gone that I had before the surgery. It’s just hard to explain this to people that don’t have it and that it may take months for every symptom is gone.

Did your surgeon address the celiac nerve as well as ligament release?

Full recovery is much better for those who had ligament release AND celiac nerve plexus/ganglion removal vs those who only had ligament release.
My celiac nerve ganglia was partially removed and I’m doing well: pain is gone, no nausea, no early fullness, blood pressure stabilized, brain fog gone, abdominal and upper body swelling is gone, no more constant burping, can sleep well again, no more pounding and racing heart, no more “spraying” feeling under ribs, no more intense sweating and heat, no more arterial spasms (had 3 and those were excruciating), no more difficulty breathing due to hard diaphram, can exercise again, can take deep breaths and hold and swim under water long distance again.
So grateful!
Hope you do well. I would not trade the difficult time for anything because the gratitude found later is one of the greatest gifts one can have.
