@ollusam thank you, this is encouraging. Did they remove his stomach? I guess surgeon never gave a name if the procedure?

@leadingham1 it was a Ivor-Lewis minimally invasive esophagectomy . Both the lower part of esophagus and part of stomach were removed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in NYC

@leadingham1 they removed part of his stomach and esophagus. Not the entire stomach and pulled the remaining stomach up. He is now 76 y/o will be 77 in May. He is doing remarkably well. Eats everything but in smaller portions.
