Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy

I just went for an Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS) Surgery yesterday.. Sounds deep and serious eh? basically it's to say bye bye to my sweaty palms.. =)

Yes yes, after 30 odd years of enduring the inconvenience of heavy perspiration from my palms, i've finally decided to go this operation to sort it out. It was a simple operation, but is categorised as a major op, cos it involves collapsing the lungs to gain access to the relevant nerves that has to be "burned"..

Thank God for a smooth and successful surgery. Other than slight tightness in the chest when i take deep breaths, and the sore throat (due to the tube that was put in durin the op to allow the collapsing of the lungs), i'm feeling fine. My hands feel dry! Yes! Now i dun need to feel uncomfortable shaking hands with pple, and now i can carry Emma freely without my sweaty palms getting in the way.

I will be discharged from the hospital today. I do pray for the keyhole surgery wounds to heal fast.

I truly hope that you were warned of the potential side-effects and complications and you will not have to pay a heavy price for it.
Best of luck.
