Guest guest Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I diagnosed with Achalasia in September and going for the surgery on this Friday. As it is common with Achalasia, I had my share of numerous wake ups in the middle of the night with choking and food regurgitation, vomiting, spasms. Lost about 15 pounds in a year. Haven't eat a piece of bread for almost 4-5 months, mainly surviving on rice with veg gravy (whatever little quantity I can eat before food starts coming back up my throat), oatmeal cereal, liquids) etc. I am really sick of " living " like this and looking forward for my surgery even though it is right before Christmas. The good thing is that my surgery will be done by none other than Dr Finley in Vancouver. I had read many good reviews about him, met him personally last month and found him very nice and caring. I am on liquid diet starting today and clear liquids from tomorrow. I will let you know how the surgery goes next week assuming I will be physically able to do so.
