I had another esophagus “stretch “ so I stop aspirating. It didn’t work so a week later I had a second one and it was another doctor and he said “ did your gastroenterologist tell you that you have an ulcer? I said no. One year later I failed the barium swallow test. The pill did not go into my stomach for over 5 minutes then they stopped the XRAY. My gastroenterologist scheduled a bigger “stretch”.
So far so good.
My test this time my gastroenterologist said he went down to my duodenum.
My stomach spinsher does not allow food to go down into my stomach on time. It eventually opens to allow food and liquids to flow down. The top part of my stomach won’t allow an easy passage so I aspirated to the point that the food backed up my esophagus and into my lungs. It gave me pneumonia. I had to be hospitalized for a week as I also developed sepsis.
The torn 1.7 aortic aneurysm was recently found to be at 3.9 and I’m on Coumadin and it is torn.
Apparently my doctor told me that he went down to the duodenum.

My right vocal cord is still paralyzed and I fractured my spine with 3 MRI’s coming up on the 28 of July.
The L1 vertebrae is compound fractured with nerve involvement and middle back and neck possible fractures. So food takes its time to get into my stomach but the endoscopy went down to somewhere around my duodenum. I will AI the esophagus. Thanks
