i have trouble with stomach acid so i always try to keep my head and back elevated imeadiatly after surgery they kept me elevated but no pillow because of blood circulation to the implant. my main current complaint is my ability to swallow .after surgery i did a cookey test . food with barium and they watch you swallow. I did very well with that.
But with radiation and no chemo. i lost some of my ability to swallow possibly because i didnt do the swallowing exersises.
For me the radiation was very painful the 5&6 weeks and i concentrated on the pain instead of the exersises.
i asked about the hyperbaric treatments and the docters said that i didnt need them at that time.i have had no trouble with any infections and no dental implants.
