Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I am not sure if I could say it is normal but I was told that it was caused by swelling and told repeatedly that " every one heals differently. " I would definitely say trust your body if you feel that its not right ask what's the worst they say? Sent from my Motorola ATRIX™ 4G on AT & T Eating after HM > > >  > So now I am 2 weeks post HM.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Try and get an earlier appointment if you are worried. Tell them that you are having problems swallowing. That should get them to listen to you. from the UK ________________________________ From: lindsaykite <lindsaykite@...> achalasia Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 9:23 PM Subject: Re: Eating after HM  I was wondering if it was normal to have difficulty swallowing following surgery before contacting my doctor.
