Seeing Esophageal Surgeon

Had my follow up with gastroenterologist yesterday. He's done all he can, medically. I'm seeing a top doctor in this type of problem at a local university hospital. There are only a few options available, even surgically:

1. Remove band, evaluate gastro-esophageal junction, hiatal hernia repair, vagus nerve damage/injury.

2. Remove band, take down HH repair and redo it along with Heller Myotomy.

3. Remove band, implant feeding tube for 3-6 months to rest the esophagus.

4. Remove band, remove esophagus with reconstructive surgery (horrible option)

The achalasia is "end stage" based on the manometry, but since pseudo achalasia is gaining prevalence in the banded population, I might get lucky and just end up with #1. Fingers crossed.

My motility was 0%

My appointments at the university start on May 17.

Wish me luck
