Hello @evgenimat and welcome to Mayo Connect!
We appreciate your sharing your story of achalasia and about your successful surgery. We are so glad that you have experienced so much help after 2 months post surgery.
I'm sure your experience will encourage others who are considering surgery as treatment for achalasia. We all learn from each other at Mayo Connect and we are glad that you have added to this learning.
How much follow-up will you have now?

So glad your experience with the POEM procedure was positive however mine was not so good. It unfortunately did not work for me.
I do not think the procedure can be repeated any time soon. As with you the after surgery time was not very pleasant and with that still fresh in my mind I am loathe to repeat it any time soon.
Hope you have a very fulfilling life path from now on.
Kind regards
Denise
