Hi Folks I'm new to this site and find it so interesting. I'm scheduled for surgery on Nov. 4th, this Friday. I will also have a hiatel hernia removed. I'm not afraid of the surgery. My only concern is getting foord stuck in my esophagus. Sometimes I think I need my esophagus stretched. Can anyone relate to thi?

I would appreciate any comeback. Thanks in advance. I'm addicted to this site.

If you had already had your surgery, folks here would tell you to chew better, but this is something

you should take up with your PCP or surgeon. Or you could go to Home Depot and rent an

esophagus stretcher ( that's a joke, not medical advice) anyway best of luck.

all I can say is chew, chew, chew, and take smaller bites...hope this helps
