Achalasia itself is not curable/fixable-the nerves in the smooth muscle of the

esophagus continue to die which is what causes the problems getting the food

down to the stomach and the spasms. As long as you are not able to regurgitate

food (have you tried?) the surgery probably did its job.

on my saliva. I also have to eat on a regular basis to avoid heartburn. I can

drink chilled drinks but not real icy drinks made with crush ice-what goes down

comes right back up if I do. Of course, every bite I eat now has to be washed

down with a liquid. I still have some muscle movement in my esophagus but each

year I depend upon gravity a bit more to get food down. Guess no space travel

for me!

have had a HM. I was diagnosed with A in Dec of 2011 and had an HM done in Jan

2012. It has only been several months since my surgery and i'm having the same

problems eating/drinking, muscle spasms and reflux I had before the surgery.

What have your experiences been after a HM? Will the surgery be re-done, or are

there any other options? I don't have an appt scheduled with my doc for another

couple weeks. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
