a couple more questions...

[Guest guest]

Sorry guys, for all the questions, but up until now I haven't found

anyone who can give me any answers! I was wondering...has the drs ever

told you that you have a slow, sluggish esophagus? That the esophagus

is like a tube, and the muscles aren't working right? Is this what

achalasia is, in general? Or are there different kinds? I have been

told my esophagus is sluggish.

I was worried that I may have a different type of A that surgery won't

fix. Is that even possible? As I understand the surgery, the muscle

seperating the stomach and esophagus is cut. Is this exactly what

happens, and if so, do you know if a person with a sluggish esophagus

can still have the surgery work for them?

Also, do any of you guys ever get really sick to your stomach because

of lack of eating? And, how much weight can I be expected to lose?

Thanks! You guys are great!
