New to the post and bariatric pal so sorry for such a late post! I had my sleeve done 12/14 everything was going great! I saw my doctor for my first post op on 12/28 and he was excited to see how well I was doing. Well, the next day I woke up with esophagus spasms. I have mixed feelings about hearing that someone else has this. I'm relieved I'm not the only one ( came to this site desperate to find someone else), but saddened because I know it SUCKS! I thought I had done my research prior to surgery and never ran into this topic. I was prescribe Blood pressure medication to relax the muscles around my esophagus. If you don't mind me asking, were you prescribed something within that family and also wanted to know how you are doing thus far. Still medicated, living fabulously without it ? I unfortunately had to start from square one with my diet post diagnosis. liquid for 2 weeks and then puree'd food. I look forward to baby food but I would prefer for my esophagus to chill out for a second.
