4 1/2 months after the esophagectomy and I'm at about 90% of "normal." I still get tired more easily than pre-surgery, can swallow well but have a lot of mild issues with burbing a lot after drinking and brutal bouts of "dumping syndrome" a couple times a week if I eat too much or too quickly. Still very gradually losing weight but I was a tubby bastard pre-cancer so I'm glad to be down a few jean sizes as long as I stop there. My doctor was very brutal about the expectations of the surgery, didn't sugar coat it at all and if anything he undersold it a bit but it is worth it given the alternative.
