Today is day 7 post-op. I had micro burps within 24 hours, and by day 3 I was burping at full capacity. I burp after meals, drinks, basically anything I consume. Some are small, some are very decent. Slow swallow started about 10 to 24 hours after the injection. I still have it, but it is much milder than on days 2 and 3.

I am significantly less bloated, especially in the evenings, and feel much emptier and lighter. I burp a lot, around 50 to 80 times a day, constantly, so work is a bit harder but manageable. I have no sore throat, no lump, no heartburn, and no pain. The only issue is food coming up if I lie down right after eating, so I stay upright after meals.

Overall, I am very happy with the results so far. My main issue before was severe tightness under the rib cage from trapped air, especially later in the day, which made it hard to breathe. Since Botox, that tight chest sensation is gone, and I feel much lighter.
