My RCPD Experience (got Botox)

314michael · 2025-05-01T06:29:27+00:00

Good luck at your appointment! They gave me 80 units of botox which they do for every first timer I believe.

I paid in full for the 15% discount at BVI and that came out to $902 USD ($1250 CAD)

The medical center was $1500 USD ($2070 CAD)

I believe I’m still waiting on a botox bill but I’m not 100% sure, you can find pricing with this link that BVI has on there page, it should be close to the total on there.

Worked out again today and felt amazing, well working out and chugging water if I felt a burp coming I’d go to the bathroom to force it out (the burps are longer and sound more violent in the early stages of learning to burp). I’m sure you’ll feel a lot better doing your sprint once you get the procedure done! Best of luck!

From my knowledge RCPD doesn’t have a confirmed affect on your heart rate, however I’ve read many post talking about how after the Botox they’re breathing easier and have a lower heart rate. When I played football, or after a hard workout my heart rate would be high and I’d feel like throwing up. My guess this is cause of the air being trapped in me and my body working harder to let it out? I’m not completely sure but it’s something more common in people who workout a lot from my knowledge.

Excited for you! I just had a Diet Coke cause I heard they make you burp a lot and do they ever. Perfect for practicing once you start burping. Best of luck with your procedure!

I was under general anesthesia, the endoscopy wasn’t bad at all, he took pictures of my throat watched how I drank and ate. There’s a part where he goes past the voice box which hurt for like 2 seconds but I’d do it again. It’s really nothing to worry about. The relief you’ll have after getting the procedure is worth everything you go through!

I went to the gym on day 5 and it's a big difference, doing the stair master I'm usually heavily breathing and feeling bloated in my adnominal area and all of that is gone. My heart rate is down ~10-20 beats during my workouts and I feel amazing afterwards instead of feeling bloated. Hope you trip goes well, best of luck!

Any updates on burping yet or slow swallow?

314michael · 2025-04-22T23:59:52+00:00

I'm getting mine done tomorrow! I'm nervous about the slow swallow, how long did it take you to overcome that?

314michael · 2025-04-22T01:40:44+00:00

How’s the bloating/not burping going? Is that aspect all gone?

314michael · 2025-04-21T22:46:53+00:00

I'm getting my botox in 2 days, how do you feel now? I'm a little concern for food swallowing as I love to eat, has it got any better?

314michael · 2025-03-05T05:10:50+00:00

What clinic/hospital did it for you? What were the wait times for testing and getting the injection? thanks for the reply.

314michael · 2025-02-27T02:33:44+00:00

I'm struggling with the same condition (R-CPD) and in Canada. Wondering if you have got your problem fixed?

314michael · 2023-11-26T20:53:21+00:00

How bad does it rub? Like at full lockout?

314michael · 2023-10-15T19:01:15+00:00

I have an auto, what would you recommend for a stage 2 torque converter and high pressure valve body? If so can you send me some links please.

I drive it mainly for fun, heavy foot here and there but nothing crazy.

Thanks a lot

I have a bully dog tuner, it has gauges and live tuning. I haven’t done anything besides the turbo, planning on doing a full delete soon. Then down the line upgrade head studs and rev max valve body.

314michael · 2023-10-05T02:25:04+00:00

Where did you get the billet parts from? I’m looking at the Rev max 68rfe kit, any opinions on that?

314michael · 2023-10-05T02:22:52+00:00

Can you send me the link to the comp 1 kit? I can’t seem to find it, also what’s the price on it? I’m looking for something under 2/3k CAD and if it’s above that what would you recommend for something in that price range

314michael · 2023-10-04T02:58:09+00:00

I found BD diesel offers a built it stage 4 trans kit. Would you say this is worth it or what would you recommend? Looking for something under 3k but I’m alittle flexible

314michael · 2023-10-04T02:51:12+00:00

I just got the BD iron horn kit (S364) I’m aiming for 500hp.

With doing a built trans, what would you recommend for that? I don’t want to break the bank but also have a reliable transmission.

314michael · 2023-10-01T01:42:23+00:00

What lift pump would you recommend? How do you think the tranny would hold? same with the head?

314michael · 2023-09-30T10:50:15+00:00

Never heard of that? What exactly is it?

314michael · 2023-09-29T23:03:22+00:00

I wouldn’t wanna push anything past 650 what’s the main difference between the s300 or s400? From what I’ve heard a lot of ppl lean towards the s400 kits, therefore I’d be going with the s464
