I truly hope its a go for you. Please keep me updated. I was not having and am not having any GERD symptoms. Only the occasional indigestion. These spasms were an incidental finding on the barium swallow. Now I have to have a test that measures the strength of the lower muscle of the esophagus. I was wondering if anyone knew how often this occurs or if it prevents anyone from getting sleeved. Kinda anxious.....
