Achalasia - one year after the POEM surgery


I just returned from the hospital where I had to be for an one year after check-up from my POEM surgery. My doctor was very glad to see me and also to know that I feel absolutely fine. He asked me if I have any problems for swallowing, pains in the chest or regurgitation, none of this in my case. Only when I eat a lot at the evening and the upper part of the bed is not a bit elevated, so it can happen that a bit of reflux goes up the esophagus and disturb me a bit. He asked also about my wight, and as I have now 4 kg additional, it would be better to get rid of them. Sometimes it can happen, that when the stomach grows it will do some pressure on the lower esophagus and then one can feel some small pain or just a sensation of burning. So I will take this advise seriously.
After that he did some esophagus examination for looking if there are any signs of reflux in my lower esophagus. After sleeping nicely (I'm really addicted to this procedure, it's a nice sensation how the medicament put you to sleep within such a short time) I awoke and I got some cafe and dry bread, well after 10 hours not eating and drinking I was very thankful to get something tommy stomach. I had again a final speech with my doctor about what he saw, nothing to be worry about, some little signs of reflux but using the acid blocker, this can be controlled easily. So I was very happy that everything is okay. So until next year, ....
