What should I do about this?

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I'm back needing advice.

Two years ago, I started having symptoms we're all familiar with.

Food getting stuck in the throat, waking up choking at night,

etc... In December 2004, I had an amazingly successful Heller's in

Kansas City. I was back at 99% - only had a problem if I gulped

really cold liquid too fast.

Well, here I am 18 months later, experiencing some of the same

symptoms I had two years ago. So far, it's just the stuck food

feeling. It's already gone from an occasional 'stick' to a

few 'sticks' per meal.

My questions:

1) What are my treatment options after a heller's?

2) Should I do something sooner rather than later?

I was really hoping to be one of the lucky ones where the surgery

fixed the problem for many many years. With the way I was feeling

after the surgery, able to eat anything without any problem, I was

thinking I was one of those lucky ones. Now I know that's not the

case.

I've also moved from Kansas to South Carolina. I'm going to have to

look for a new doctor. Although, if I can't find one here, I'm

willing to fly back to Dr. Moncure for treatment if necessary...

Any advice you can give is very welcome.
