Esophagectomy: What is life like Afterwards?

@mwedin I had ten endoscopies to stretch my esophagus until I figured out I could do my own stretchings with dilation tubes. I did those for about three or four months and then stopped doing it. K have been dilation free for about four months now so I am pretty much 100% normal (minus most of my esophagus and half of my stomach)

@manuelo
Likewise. I had a couple dozen endoscopies before I started self dilation. I do it every day but considering stopping and see what happens.
