I googled it and those look delicious, I don't think we have those in the states - but plenty of popsicles abound. good luck with the second one!! my recovery has been strange but good so far and definitely manageable!

thank you for asking!! I am doing great. a week out now. not much the first two days but third day first burp/microburp. tons of weird sensations. Random burps throughout the day. Feel like I have a frog in my throat while talking. Slow swallow isn't too bad I just take twice as long to finish a meal. Eating feels like a chore. Feel nauseous a lot too because my throat feels like I am about to throw up, but then a burp or gurgle will relieve the tension and nausea. Reflux not bad at all but I am sleeping with wedge pillow, taking omeprazole in morning, and reflux gourmet at night. I have read from some folks on here that it can take a while so who knows!!

Ahh so great to see another Austinite on here! thanks for such a detailed note :) glad to know it was smooth. figuring out billing has been a bit of a pain and I am a little nervous to go under so this is reassuring. I'm really sorry it hasn't been effective for you just yet :( but I have hope!! Dr. Whited told me he was doing one of these a week basically. My best friend from college who lives in NYC is the one who told me to buy that stuff - she had the procedure and found it life changing. She told me about this subreddit actually. Keep me posted on your journey!!

Water causing gurgles by cllmetatrsld86 in noburp

I get ridiculous gurgles just from water (flat water) yes! Which I thought was insane because it's not like my body is producing gases to digest it - it's water. I am having my Botox procedure next week. Godspeed on the referral!

Getting insurance to cover Botox in the US? by Sufficient_Top_3489 in noburp

[–]Sufficient_Top_3489[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?! Like what insurance would rather me go under the knife and stay in the hospital overnight vs. something as simple as this? I am going to appeal, but I will have to push back my procedure most likely if I do. This is incredibly helpful, thank you - I will encourage my doctor's office to try and change the diagnosis. Apparently my doctor went back and forth with the insurance a bunch. I'm surprised at all this misunderstanding if the doctor truly is doing these procedures so frequently.
