My post-op nightmare.

[soccergirl88 56]

So sorry to here this' date=' and yes, not everyone's esophagus is 100% straight like they look in the charts on the walls. I also have this problem - fun fact, its nearly impossible for me to burp because of it. I burp maybe twice a year? It blows my mind when I do because its such a rare thing for me.

My office allows for us to come in for IV fluids at any time if we think we need them immediately post op. All we have to do is call and tell them whats going on and come in and they will give us a unit or two in the office. I wish that was more common, people get WAY too sick before they deal with this problem, and everything feels worse when you are dehydrated.[/quote']

Sorry to hear you have this problem as well. And you are so lucky you can get IV fluids so easily. How do you deal with this issue? I'd love to hear your experiences, if you don't mind.

Thank you! It makes me feel a little at ease knowing it will get better. Were you given any medication for the stricture? I'm curious to know what your surgeon did to help' date=' if you don't mind me asking.[/quote']

I didn't get any help from the surgeon it started clesaring up on its own. I don't think it is a stricture either just swelling that takes time to go down. I keep seeing hiatel hernia repairs take a bit longer to heal.
