GC1Pink, Er, no motility problems. Just constant corrosive/erosive due to the GERD; so much so that the scarring wouldn't allow the movement of food. My physician let me know that my full motility...
Hello All, I know that there are a ton of hurting people out there, and I sincerely wish all of you the best. I just wanted to post that, at this moment I am a month out of my full wrap with HH...
Hey SJ, I still have problems swallowing unless it's fairly small or chewed up. The problem with post-nissen, is that you get so hungry from the small meals, that it's very easy to take too big a...
Hi SJ, I had my surgery on a Thursday, and was back to work on Monday. Now, I'm a very light-blue -collar worker, so I work more with the computer than with my hands. Every day is better, and now...
Day 12 Just left the surgeon's office. He says that everything looks ship-shape, and I should see him in 3 months. He says that by then, I should be able to eat normally with regards to swallowing....
Oh they'll tell you what you need to do. I would say maybe enjoy a deep dish pizza. Actually, they'll probably have you not eat or drink after midnight on the night before surgery. Oh, I forgot a...
Day 11. Today has been a break-through; not physically, but mentally. I finally realized something. It used to be that if I was tired, or feeling under the weather, that I would eat a sizeable meal...

Congrats on getting the surgery. So far, I am very pleased with the outcome. I can't tell you whether or not yours will be as successful as mine, but at least you are taking control of the...
Day 10. Things were going well, and sort of still are. It turns out that my digestive system has awoken, and it's a whole new ballgame. One ravioli, life is good. Two raviolis, and it's a "dinner...
Yeah, thanks Bill. "Manometry". Got it. I just play a doctor on TV, and not in real life, so I just try and log what happens to me. I'm a poor speller and even a more poor listener, especially when...
Thanks for all of the support on hearing what I have to say, (unlike what I experience with my wife. And she wonders why I talk to the dog.) Today is day 8, and it seems like everything is pretty...
Hi. I don't know if anyone wants to hear my journal, but if you do, please respond and I will update it. If not, then it will languish here until the internet implodes. Mine seems more upbeat, as I...
