Balloon Dilations

Let me talk about after Nissen fundolpation surgery a problem that can occur.

Sometimes after the surgery your surgery wrap might to tight, or sometimes you might just have a narrowing in the esophagus. A gastro Dr might suggest if you cant swallow food without it feeling stuck , to have a balloon dilation. This is done the same same way an endoscopy is done. Though at the end of the tube they have a balloon that will stretch your esophagus. I had this done prob at least 5-7 times. This you are put out for . It does not hurt. Though after you might a sore throat. Each time I had it I was able to swallow food easier. Every few month starts to close up again and if I feel that I redo the procedure.

After that I would feel my stomach muscles killing. The burning pain. It wouldn't go away till I had to repeat the surgery and fix it. First I would do a barium swallow to make sure it slipped.

After two surgeries I had to have it open thoracic. The pain and recovery was hard. T

Vitamins

Talking about vitamins in general and after stomach surgeries. I hate pills. I crush everything , take liquid or take chewable. Well I found about patch md. They make patches. Which helps a lot because not everyone can swallow or likes flavors of certain pills. My blood result came back everything was normal. Which means they do absorb and work. I wear the patches at night . When I was away I did flinstone chewables and caltrate chewable vitamins. Also if my order don’t come in time , I forget to order more I take them. Both flavor taste good . The only thing low was iron, that I’m anemic . Which I had brought a liquid from whole food, chewable from vitamin shop , and liquid of wellness . I haven’t tried any but the chewable. The taste of it is good. I take one a day with breakfast. It does not bother my stomach either . Also I take dissolvable biotin.
