surgery

[Guest guest]

maniko- heres my attempt to share with you my families experience and how we

reached our decision. in may 2008, at age 15, our son suddenly could not eat or

drink anything. misdiagnosised, he had a tube place in his nose to allow for

feeding after a 50lb weight loss. finally, in october 2008 a diagnosis of

achalasia was made. a botox injection was tried and failed. I immediately sought

out this group after that experience and have been guided to the best possible

options for us. we sought treatment elsewhere based on this groups

recommendation. now 16, our son underwent a heller myotomy with a dor nissen at

the cleveland clinic, dr thomas rice preformed his operation feb 11, 2009. one

week later he is eating and drinking and has returned to school. we chose this

operation because we felt to delay woulld only cause a progression in the

malformation of his esophagus. which could impact dr rice's ability to correct

the problem later on. also the kid had a tube running into his left nostril

which for anyone much less a teenage kid is hard. you see we had little options

and I can say for this I am glad. the path for us was clearly marked. I am

grateful to the individuals here. they unselfishly gave of themselves to us

total strangers. the suggestions they offer are sound. the love they give is

free. I am so glad you are here...angela

re: Surgery

Hi,

I've been reading and learning so much from everyone in this group. I really

appreciate

how open and receptive it is. I am new to this group. I have been having

problems since

last July with my first spasm (heart attack) that did not recur for many

months. Then my

doctor put me on hearburn meds that seemed to work. By Nov. things got worse.

I had cut

my food to 1/2 portions and I was feeling pains after eating. After

Thanksgiving I went

back to the doctor and was referred to a GI after a Barium Floroscopy. Showed

the classic

" birds beak " and the radiologist suggested I have Achalasia. The GI doctor

also thought

that was the problem and did the endoscopy to rule out other problems. He

finally sent

me to a surgeon and am waiting for my manometry results. All the doctors have

suggested that I have the myotomy, since I am a young 45 and in good health.

But I read

from everyone else that they have undergone so many other procedures before

they did

this. I am subsiding on Coke and clear soup. Have lost a lot of weight and

coming to the

end of my sanity! I guess, my question is whether I should try other things

and then the

surgery or just go ahead and take the last step first? My spasms are mild

compared to

others on this site. Unless there is food in my esophagus. That is why I drink

only

liquids!.

I know everyone is different but there is such good advice from everyone.

Would appreciate any input.

Thanks

Hello Maniko

My 0.02$, bearing in mind that everyone is different, and I don't

even have A....but from the articles and research I've read, balloon

dilatations and Botox only make the oesophagus harder to work with -

for myotomy or ectomy as the tissue is stretched and scarred. They

only give relief for a few months/years, and for some it doesn't

work at all.

" A " is comparatively rare in my country 1:100,000 so finding

surgeons able to do a myotomy with the flimsy and scarred O is a

major obstacle in itself.

My hubby is 39, took ages to diagnose, eventually had 5 balloon

dilatations, then 2 Botox, now waiting on 2nd opinion for a myotomy

with fundoplication but was told his oesophagus may be in too bad a

state to operate on.

So why the hell do they do balloon dilatations and Botox then, when

they know this? That is the million dollar question!

Hi Maniko, my myotomy was a life saver for me as far as the swallowing goes.. 

Like you, I lost over 17 pounds.  Nothing would go down beyond the lower

spincter.  I haven't found anything to relieve the spasms though and they are

still quite severe.  The Botox and Balloon procedures I went through did nothing

for me and I recovered quickly from the myotomy.  I always have a bottle of

water with me which helps when I get spasms.  Also, and this is kinda wierd,

potato chips help too (I ate a whole bag one night).  I hope this helps.  It's

not much.

@ maniko..

after getting diagnosed for " A " i underwent a couple of dialatations...that

simply added to frustration...the dialations would only help if you are " old "

enough...Age is the factor that should be accounted for dialatations in young

age wont yield desired results...Scarring of esophaegus would take place due to

successive dialations..i would suggest that you go for myo with partial wrap..

i did my myo with partial wrap 45 days back..now back on my regular

diet...chewing slowly but having everything...enjoying the food..still not gone

ahead with pizzas and coke as i have been refrained from taking these on the

advise of surgeon...still happy with the life right now especially after what i

have gone thru for last two years...

god is great...i pray to the all mighty to get this world free from " A "

all the best...

Hi there,

I had a second CToma removed about a year ago, and I was dizzy as hell for about 2 weeks after the surgery (I didn't react this way to the first surgery at all). After a few weeks though, I was right as rain.

So, don't worry too much about the dizzyness. My doctor gave me some exercises to do to help overcome the dizziness, ask yours for some suggestions if he has not already given you any.

Good luck with the recovery process!

I have only posted a few times. I had an external ear canal c-toma. I had an ongoing ear infection for two years. The first ENT group did not see it- they just had me go in weekly for cleanings and new meds. I went to a different Dr out of town who saw it and removed it at the surface. With this groups help- I went to another ENT/Oto who suggested we remove it. I had surgery last Tues. It has been a rough week. I have felt disorganized, dizzy and offbalance.He has cut from top to bottom behind the ear. He found exposed bone which he shaved down and covered with a skin graft. He then cut out c-toma. This letter is not to complain. I am very fortunate to have found this without any hearing loss. I am just very amazed at the way the surgery has affected me. I am normally a very tough cookie with a high pain tolerance.My husband has terminal cancer and we have 3 teenagers. I have had to keep going since I was the only one who could "do

stuff". He has had to drive though since I feel too "out of it".I am beginning to feel more normal today and I have a followup tomorrow. Again- thanks to this list for all the info.

[Guest guest]

I just had surgery 3 weeks ago and also suffered from the

dizziness. I have had surgery before so I kind of prepared. Mine went

away last week when I was about 2 weeks Post Op. I have found that not bending

over helps me and if I do have to bend over, to bend with my knees. My Dr

gave me some medicine to help with it. I was told it is like Vertigo and

it will go away as soon as the gel packing inside your ear dissolves. It is

a pain when you are going through it, but please understand that it will go

away.

Call your Dr and see if he has something that he can give you.

There is no need to suffer anymore than necessary.

I saw the Dr this morning. He seemed surprised by the dizziness and said it was

probably from the packing. I feel better now by the responses. I can not even

,

   I'm so glad to hear things are going pretty good... I know the surgery pain

is bad.. Hopefully you can keep it under control. I'm sorry about last night. I

had already took my bedtime pills. Doesn't take to long and they knock me out.

  I do remember being in quite a bit of pain after my surgery. For me it was a

goo couple weeks before the pain started easing up.I know when I talked to the

surgeon about it, he acted like no one has much pain with this surgery...Well I

know I did.. Maybe I'm just more of a baby about it..

 Is the stem working good? is it covering your pain?? I sure hope it is all

going good for ya.

     I should be home today after 1. I have PT at 10;30 then I have to go swim,,

been since last week since I have had time to go the Y and swim,, my whole body

hurts... I know its from not swimming last week.. So I should be home after 1.

 Get some rest hon, and I will talk to ya soon...

Hi, ,

Well, my first thoughts are that 39 degree curve(s) is mild and I wouldn't get

surgery that soon.  However, your pain probably would be alleviated by the

surgery.  I'm fused T2 to L5 and currently have little or no pain now.  My

surgery was at the age of 53.  I was in a great deal of pain before and walked

bent like Quasimodo.  It was terrible.  You are likely to progress, which is a

cause for the surgery.

 

So.  You have a great deal of pain with a progressive spinal condition.  Do you

have an excellent orthopedic and scoli surgeon who SPECIALIZES in these

surgeries?  Well, if he/she says that you need the surgery, you feel you need

the surgery, then, I guess it might be best to go ahead with it.

 

Surgery stops progression most of the time.  In my case, there isn't anything

else to curve!

Scoliosis Treatment

Date: Sunday, July 26, 2009, 10:32 PM

 

I am a 52 year old paralyzed female. My paralysis was caused by Transverse

myelitis, which occured in Dec. 2006. Since my episode with transverse myelitis,

I have constant nerve pain in my legs, feet, knees, rectum, and back. The rectal

pain is the worst. I have had several back surgeries, the last being the fusion

of L5 - S1. Now I have been diagnosed with Scoliosis. The last x-ray showed a 39

degree curvature. I am scheduled for surgery on August 14 to place 18 pins and

two titanium rods installed to stabilize my spine.

My questions to the group are: Has someone had the same surgery? Were you in

pain before? Are you now?Would you recommend the surgery?

I would certainly appreciate any response to my questions.

[Guest guest]

I've had the surgery, read one of my other posts. But your situation is

different, it's not for me to say. All I would say is be sure to have a very

good surgeon who specializes in your situation. My surgeon had apparently never

had a " thin " patient before (!!??) and as a result did wrong things. He came

highly recommended by my first surgeon, but this is what happens. There are no

guarantees.

Hi

Sorry to hear you that you were vomiting. As soon as I woke up after

the op I had an anti-sickness injection and as soon as you click your

fingers - it stopped! It was magic. I had always asked for it ever

since my first caserian op.

Do take pain killers to help with the pain.

God bless.

,

So sorry you've had such a rough time with recovery. Do you think the vomiting

is a result of the general anesthesia alone or do you have some dizziness that

is contributing to it?

I'll be having my first CI implanted this coming Wednesday. I'm hoping for a

good result and a smooth recovery. To that end, Elaine, I can't thank you

enough for that suggestion for an anti-nausea injection post-op. I'll be sure

to request that. Is there a particular name of this medication you can share or

will they just know what I'm talking about?

I've had general anesthesia 4 times in my life and experienced the vomiting two

of those times. As if recovering from surgery alone isn't bad enough! Never

knew there was an option to take an injection. I wonder why they don't make

that standard procedure.

Take good care of yourself! You just had surgery! Hope each day brings

less discomfort and more healing. Jackie )

Good luck, Maggie. May I suggest you ask the anesthesiologist for

something for nausea in your IV BEFORE surgery. It has worked every time for

me.

A dizzy blonde, now that's a first. :}

I hope the nausea disappears pronto, and you are soon enjoying being a Bi Babe!

Subject: surgery

Surgery went fine, Dr. said they got a lot of waves when they

checked to

make sure the device was in. I'm sleeping most of the day, hence no e

mail being answered. 3 of the 3 meds I'm on cause drowsiness.

Had to stay 2 nights because I was still unable to stop vomiting. Hungry

as a bear, but have tinny taste in my mouth. My poor pooch is wondering

who I am.

I've cut down on the meds so I can possibly stay awake more. Weak as a

kitten, but getting better.

Appreciate the good wishes,

The Bi Babe

Seriously ,  I did ask my surgeon for anti nausea medicine in the IV and

he told me that was routine.  I am sorry to hear that the surgery had such ill

effects on  you.

Interesting you get it in your IV before surgery. I had it after

surgery with an injection!
