This morning i had an endoscopy and they stretched my esophagus. I have a hietal hernia but looking forward to eating food again without choking! For those of you who need an endoscopy, it's not bad at all.

    I can't agree with you on that one I've had it done three times now and I still gag and find it the most horrible experience I've ever had the last time I pulled the tub out myself and that was with some sedation

    I was choking when I would eat Not every time, but mainly with rice, chicken, granola, and food that is dry . They went in and stretched my esophagus so the food would go down. They discovered that I had a hernia also
