Guest guest Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Debbie welcome to the group. If you want to talk by phone I am willing to do so. You can also look at www.achalasia.us and that might help out some. in Georgia Sent from my iPhone On Apr 27, 2012, at 13:54, " debb601620 " <Debb601620@...> wrote: > Hello all, I too am new to this group, have been lurking a bit and have learned so much from everyone.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Debbie in STL  First of all welcome to the group. As you, I have been diagnosed for over three years with acid relex. I do not take the nexium now. And I come to believe now it was the start of Achalasia. My blood pressure has been high and I have gotten lightheaded also. I still take the blood pressure pills but I am 53 and over weight. I am post 10 days HM. It is great now. I did my surgery in ville, FL. You will be amazed how you will feel afterwards. Good Luck.  Suzanne From: debb601620 <Debb601620@...> Subject: I am new too... achalasia Date: Friday, April 27, 2012, 1:54 PM  Hello all, I too am new to this group, have been lurking a bit and have learned so much from everyone.
