I had my esophagus removed completely. Has anyone else had this done?

If 100% of your original esophagus was removed... when your reconditioned stomach was pulled up... what did they attach it to... your ears?
I've talked with at least 300 esophagectomy patients... not a single one had 100% removed. Let us know.

@mrgvw Gary, please don’t be so short & negative especially when someone is feeling so down & looking for answers.
I think she just meant they removed her esophagus and did the gastric pull up.
I had this done as well, 2 years ago, and I tell people the simple version of “I had my esophagus removed”.
Only when asked, I go into details specifically stating my stomach was attached to my esophageal tract.
Please try to hold back your sarcasm.
