So its been a week... and the gas pains have subsided... however I'm having what my doc calls esophageal spasms... if anyone has any suggestions... or advice it would be much app... and i will try to keep you all posted on what the doc says for all of you that might run in to the same prob...

Sorry to hear you are having spasms. I had spasms after my surgery and they ended after about the 9th day. My doctor told me I had a lot of swelling and that caused me to feel so bad and the spasms. Hope yours stops soon too.

What does it FEEL like when you're having a spasm? I've got a weird feeling in my throat and the other morning after I drank about a third of my milk it felt like my throat was closing up! The only difference was that it was ice cold. I'm now noticing a similar feeling, though not the extreme of the other morning, when I drink something really cold. I know I wasn't stuck, it'd been the first thing I'd had all morning. AND I don't have a fill yet, nothing to get stuck on!

Anyway, can you describe the FEELING for me? I do see my surgeon for a fill on Tuesday, so I'll talk to him about it then, but still want to hear your experiences. Thanks!

well it feels like your chest is going to explode... and they said it could be from really cold stuff... and really hot stuff.... talk to him he could give you more! keep up the great work!
