Diagnosed Disfunctional Esophagus. Explain Life After Esophagus Removal Surgery
I have been told that I have a very disfunctional esophagus. Food does not get into my stomach properly. VERY slowly. I've had all of the proper tests and have been told to either to learn to live with it or I might be a candidate to have my esophagus removed. I need to know what will happen to me if I have this surgery done. What kind of life can I expect?

Hi, Diagnised dysfunctional oesophagus, getting food into stomach very slowly, alternative is to get accomadated with it, or removal.
After removal of oesophagus, either put on opening in the stomach, into stomach, or plastic surgery with a piece of gut in position.Any how it is a complicated process.
If you are above 60 you can try to get accomodated, with semi solids, if luck permits it may become allright. you can have any thing in semisolid form. Thank you.
