Guest guest Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Can your E stretch out if you need a little water to get some foods down? I had my Heller in 2005 and usually need some water.

I am reading each & every message posted, lots of good info! For those who are new or who may not remember, I do not have achalasia but my husband has had it for about 20 years. He was finally diagnosed in 2008 & the dr did a Heller. Wish I'd known about this site then....I have no idea how experienced his dr was. He did go back for a check up about 6 months after his surgery, the dr then ordered an endoscopy because he saw something.....but my husband never followed up with him. I assume it was nothing since the dr didn't urgently call. He then had an episode back in February-ish where he once again couldn't get anything down. It lasted about 3 weeks.....again, he didn't call the dr & he eventually was able to eat again. Now it seems he hasn't had any problems....he's even been eating meals without his ginormous glass of water. I did warn him about the E stretching but he doesn't seem concerned about it. I've always been the worrier....but I just started a full time job & with 2 kids....well he's on his own, lol!!! Just wanted you all to know I'm still here....still reading.....I learn something new every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
