Hi this is Margaret. I saw your previous post but I thought you were asking to communicate with Jenn whose husband had a POEM with some post op issues. I too had the procedure in January. If you have any questions I’d be happy to tell you about my experience.

Thank you Margaret .. firstly , I have Jackhammer oesophagus, as well as achalasia type 111, I just wondered if there’s a big difference in the feeling you have in your chest once you've had the procedure.??? I’m just worried that I would be aware of my oesophagus being unable to function properly. I’m having an extended P.O.E.M , where the doc will cut the muscle at the bottom and cut all the way up the oesophagus also. I’m quite frightened of the after effects . How are you feeling now ?... I do hope all is well !
