I have had the surgery twice. It has come back a 3rd time. They won't do surgery a 3rd time and they can't help me. I can't swallow most of the time. When i can get small amounts of liquid/food down it often gets lodged and backs up. The strange thing is it happens mostly when I try to drink. My throat just locks up. I have to remind myself I can still breathe. I have to do this bent over gaging thing, because I can't throw up normally. Most of the time it happens after the first sip. More liquid comes out than went in. Needless to say, I have lost 40lbs in the last 2 months and am unable to stay hydrated. My urine is brown or dark orange. Every once in awhile, I get dark yellow. I throw up at least 5 times a day. I can't work. I am weak, short of breath, and have to have a water bottle in my hand at most all times. Often, I believe I might have had a successful few sips. After a minute or two, foam starts coming up my throat. I'll start gagging and regurgitating. I am withering away. I used up all my sick leave, vacation, and sick pool. I have been on FMLA for the most of the last two years. I've lost my job and now my insurance. I'm screwed.............
