For people who found laparoscopic surgery successful, was it felt immediately or was it more gradual over time? I had surgery 5 days ago. For the first 3 days, I felt great, then on the four day I had pain. Today is better. Also, for those on anti-dumping diets, could you completely go off of the diet after surgery or was take gradual too?

@tutorgrl -I had the laparoscopic surgery 2015. There was immediate relief of the severe pain I used to have after eating. However, there was other pain from the surgery. It affected the diaphragm where the ligament originated. After 5 months the original pain returned. The artery was still deformed from the ligament pressure. A vascular surgeon placed a stent and so far all is well.
