Post Esophagectomy...Advice

Records 1-1 of 1
Subject: Post esophagectomy...advice
Date: 03/23/2008

I had an esophagectomy for a non-malignant tumor 7 weeks ago.  I have had difficulty finding information on the net as well as support.  I am posting here as many of you have experience with esophagectomy.  While I count my blessings every day that it was not cancer (originally thought it was until path came back), I find myself frustrated with difficulties finding things to eat, nasuea, sleeping positions, need for medication to prevent nasuea, choking episodes, and difficulties with consuming liquids. 

I am 36 and was in good health prior to this.  I did not know prior to my surgery that I would have an esophagectomy, but it was necessary as my tumor had gone through the wall. 

If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.
