Can't remember what my surgery type is called but they took out a tumor in the gastric junction (where the esophagus and stomach connect) and another tumor (5cm long) on the opposite side of my stomach. my stomach was pulled up and connected to my esophagus way up on the side of my Adam's apple. They took most of my esophagus out along with all the lymph nodes.

I am doing great and I needed to lose weight anyway. I am staying steady at 156 LBS. which is appropriate for my short 🙁 height of 5'7

More on your question. I did lose 30 pounds but I was overweight so I now weight what I should and I am eating basically normal meals and staying steady at my ideal weight.

I was eating 4 to 6 meals a day but it seems my stomach stretched out so I am down to 3 or 4 meals and normal portions.

They cut my stomach from the navel up to my chest in between the breast plates, and then another cut in my throat on the side to join the esophagus and stomach there.

I am explaining this cause you asked if it was Ivor Lewis surgery and I can't recall.

Hope this helps 🙂
