I am 64.75 years old female and had gastric bypass surgery in 2001 and at the same time I had a hiatial hernia repair (glad that happened). But as a result of many years of acid reflux, I now have a dammaged esophagus. I have to use Nitro Lingual Pump Spray to control pain which can occure from stress, differences in temperature of the air I breathe. I hear there is a way to possibly cauterize the tissue to help repair the esophagus. Is that something I should look into as a friend said it culd turn into cancer or may have already. I am still over weight , but initially after my gastric bypass I lost 100 0f my 316 pounds. I am a 6 foot tall woman. I was experiencing many health disorders because of this and was even using a C-pap. Which I no longer need. Later I had to have knee meniscus repair surgery on my left knee and that kept me from exercising and now it is my right knee. So I have put about 30 pounds back on. I am working with a knee doctor to try to see if we can fix the right knee now. Primary question is related to my esophagus concern though.
