I had the Bravo procedure done on January 30th, today is February 3rd. This has honestly been the WORST experience of my entire life, and I have had GERD for years, and been through many, many procedures. If you are reading these comments, trying to figure out if you should have the procedure, PLEASE DONT. I was just like you, reading blogs and posts to see people's opinions of them. From the moment I woke up on Friday (the 30th) I had a horrible pain in my throat. I have been on an all liquid diet since then, and the monitor is STILL THERE. Even though my doctor told me it would fall off in 2 days. I cannot eat, and can drink minimal amounts of water at a time. I had to crush up vitamins into water, just so I could get some source of nutrition. I cannot sleep well either, every time I lay down, the pain in my throat worsens, and I even feel pain in my upper back. TRUST ME, DONT DO IT!!!
