77-AUDIO Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm going to have surgery this Friday 12/09/11 for Esophageal Achalasia. Easy explanation: Muscles in my esophagus have quit working.) Technical Description: (so you don't have to leave here.) A muscular ring at the point where the esophagus and stomach come together (lower esophageal sphincter) normally relaxes during swallowing. In people with achalasia, this muscle ring does not relax as well. The reason for this problem is damage to the nerves of the esophagus. The FIX: Surgery (called an esophagomyotomy), which may be needed to decrease the pressure in the lower sphincter. They are going to cut me in 6 places and use a robot to do most of the work. If they cut to deep they will go through my esophagus, and if that happens they will have to cut me open completely just to get to it and try and fix the problem. The Dr that is doing this is specialized in the procedure but still does happen.

hip Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Don't be nervous, especially if the doctor specializes in the procedure. Try to get a recording of the operation, if they are using robots should be no problem. Good luck man. Quote louisiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
