Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Looking for information on sleep apenda, having the cpap or bipapm -- Have any of you talked to your Doctors about: can the machines, the settings, etc. do any harm after myotomy. And anything else you may know on the subject. I have had machine for two years, just completed new sleep study due to surgery. Have researched on line, and there does seem to be some interesting information about what it does because of the achlashia. Thanks as always for any thing some one knows Joanne in Palm Desert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'm interested--I used to live in La Quinta--who were your doctors? where did you have your sleep study? so is it the aspiration which (noramlly) caused your breathing problems? what about GERD? and LES PAIN??? those affect sleep MUCH MORE!!!! I've had my LES ripped/torn/sliced/injected/diced and wrapped (WAY too tightly!!!). There is nothing left to do-- but an esophaguectomy, ehich is impossible due to the fundoplication using the stomach tissue necessary tto make a pseudo-esophagus I am just SO sick of this sh__! or doctors twisting me words: " My esophagus is tortuous, sigmoid- shaped " , and they say, " patient feels 'tortured'. " Doctors = EVIL!! I am so sick > > Looking for information on sleep apenda, having the cpap or bipapm -- > Have any of you talked to your Doctors about: can the machines, the > settings, etc. do any harm after myotomy.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I also have sleep apnena. I had my lap heller w/ a dor wrap in April 2005. My surgeon, Dr Marco Patti, formally of UCSF, knew about the apena and in fact told me to bring my machine to the hospital, but never told me of any issues or problems between the Achalaisa and the apnea. They seemed to me to be two different, unrelated issues. Am I wrong?
