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

Hello @denisepowell and welcome to Connect. I am sorry to hear that your POEM surgery was difficult.

If you are comfortable doing so, could you please share more about the problems you were having prior to the surgery? Were you diagnosed with Zenker's diverticulum or something else?
