Living with a very dilated esophagus?

[Guest guest]

Is there anyone who has managed to live relatively normally with a very dilated

esophagus for at least a decade or two?

I'm having a myotomy done in the next couple of weeks, but my level of

depression is starting to reach extreme levels. I have two young children and

I'm finding it very, very difficult to cope.

If yours was a positive outcome in similar circumstances, with a lot of

esophagus expansion prior to the operation and at least some good years

afterwards, I really need to hear about it.

Thank you.
