I am 2 years post op. Best decision I ever made! I was in The hospital for 4 days due to N/V, that was the worse it ever got for me so it wasn’t bad. I’m off my CPAP and no longer on any BP meds for over a year now. **take your vitamins and exercise** Not 3+ years but hope this helps. I do get hiccups often though 🤷🏻♀️.
