Thank you for following up on this…sounds like I have to be really careful and seriously follow instructions with the small meals ( it’s hard to remember) so I don’t get to surgery stage…no surgery is fun, but this one sounds particularly awful…I hope everyone contributing has found some place comfortable with their tummies…

I had this surgery in 2019. It did wonders! As long as I do what I’m supposed to. Basically no straws and very limited carbonated drinks. But since a about try my 3rd week of Radiation I’ve been suffering from it again. I’m not sure if it’s my esophagus that is burnt or what. Once I get my new PET scan done if it’s not any better I will probably discuss this with my that I Gastroenterologist. Another thing that I found out after my surgery is that I couldn’t throw up. They had to repair my esophagus with part of my intestine because it was eroded so bad
