Surgery was in March, so I'm only 5 months in. Surgeon said that 18 months is the maximum time the body can heal for - anything after that, and you need to decide if you can live with any remaining...
Interestingly I have had an email from the surgeon today who has confirmed that, this far out from my operation in March, there would be no issues with diving! :) Hope this is of use to anyone who is...
I had a Belsey (270) wrap back in March which caused me a bit of trouble initially with regurgitation, but which is slowly but surely improving. My question is - has anyone had a wrap, and...
