They do have manometry and they also use it during heller myotomies. I

don't believe everyone does that but I think it is a good thing. It

helps to make sure the myotomy is complete so needing a redo is less

likely. Some surgeons just use an endoscope to see how easy they can

pass it through the LES. I seem to remember that some use a light on the

endoscope shining from inside the LES to look for dark bands in the

myotomy where the muscle is still thick needing more cutting. I think

the manometry would be better because it can measure the pressure at the

myotomy.

Intraoperative manometry during laparoscopic Heller myotomy improves

outcome in pediatric achalasia.

This means they should not only be good at knowing what achalasia looks

like manometrically in children before treatment, they should be good at

knowing what it looks like after treatment. Another plus for the

Children's hospital is that they will be experts in pediatric

fundoplication if that is needed.

Does anyone else have pain either while or immediately after eating? Taniea has

been not eating because she hurts to bad after eating. Also does anyone have any

ideas as to what she can eat to lessen her pain?

Before the myotomy I used to have a sharp pain under the ribs on the right

side. I found that eating softer foods and making sure to take smaller bites

seemed to help some. It doesn't always work but it is worth a try.

I also have pain on my right side after eating.  Tomorrow I am having the

myotomy.  I hope all or most will stop.

I called the Dr this and asked if they could suggest anything for the pain

Taniea has while eating. They suggested carafate or notripyline (sp?). Do any of

you have any recommendations and experience with these medications?
