Hi,
Just wanted to thank everyone for helping me out when I had to decide whether to have a Transhiatal esophagectomy or not. Well I had the Transhiatal esophagectomy on July 7th, I am doing great I am eating small amounts. I am no longer using my feeding tube which I hope to get out next week. For the first time in 10 years I can now sleep on my side and I only have to stay up right for an hour after I eat instead of 3. I do sleep slightly elevated but if I don’t I do not seem to have a problem.
The surgery was major and a lot to go through actually life changing. I cannot believe I feel this good this soon.
So I guess I do not have achalasia anymore but I am willing to help any one out no matter which stage of achalasia they are in. It has certainly helped me out more than anyone could know.
Thanks again for all your help and care and concern
God Bless
Tricia
