I’m totally fine now-sleeve was right for me. I don’t know what is right for you, and I doubt your surgeon is an expert now. You need to see a GI doc to get some advice. Hopefully at the same hospital so it’s easy for them to consult.

I'll call on Monday to see about a referral. Thanks!

God smiled on me! I just got home from the grocery store where I found ground chicken and ground lamb for 50% off. Yee-ha! Even picked up some of each for the freezer. For the chicken, I'll make the chicken/white bean chili again. It was delicious. And I'm thinking a Moroccan lamb Soup with the lamb. I may have to eat soft foods, but they don't have to be boring! I almost can't wait, except that I'm still working on last night's minestrone!

In addition to everyone’s great suggestion of seeing GI asap, maybe your PCP or surgeon could refer you to outpatient Speech Therapy for esophageal dysmotility or dysphagia which sounds like what you have. Speech Therapists have exercises and tools that can teach your esophagus how to properly function. I’ve seen it done for over 10 years.

@Orchids&Dragons did you get your GI appt yet?

No, he said that he needs me to have an endoscopy in Sept and doesn't want to do 2 this close together. Also, does not believe there is a treatment for my problem. I did even more research and still have only found treatments for when the spasms are too strong and painful, nothing when they're too weak and uncoordinated.

If you don’t mind me asking, could you tell me his official diagnosis or send me a message? I would really love to speak to one of my speech therapists and relay their thoughts if you’re up for it. I know there is help!

I didn't get a "medical" term, he just said that the muscles in my esophagus don't contract in a coordinated fashion and that the contractions are weak; therefore, the food does not progress down to my stomach. Sorry, I'm an accountant, not a medical person, so everything I get is in layman's terms.

I would appreciate it. If you can give me any "ammunition" I would be happy to broach the subject with the doctor again. Thanks.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
