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

@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.

Noted. But I've been counseling hundreds and hundreds of my fellow esophageal cancer patients worldwide now for years... it is important for me to be sure they understand more precisely what is going on... at all stages of their EC journeys. You go ahead and counsel how you would like... I'll continue with my own methods. I've visited with my fellow patients all around the world as well... and many have come to stay in my southern California home. Be well.
