Esophageal Spasms Before Surgery



Recommended Posts

I tend to have some esophageal spasms fairly often, which tells me I need to be on a proton pump inhibitor, but just have not addressed it with my doc yet. Just curious to know if any of you have had to have your esophagus dialated before or after your surgery? Has anyones doc done the procedure along with the sleeve?

During my first visit with my surgeon, he mentioned that he will sometimes dialate the esophagus during the sleeve procedure if he feels it's necessary. You can ask your surgeon, but it seems to be common.

Thanks for the reply! I am a nurse and it is amazing the questions that even I am coming up with!
