      Hun that's what they want to do to me. I'm not in pain like the rest of you. So I would bite the bullet and have the surgery. Life can't be good to you right now I'm sure. You will do fine and this will one day be an old memory. I'll end up having it too. I can't keep aspirating in my lungs and choking. It's horrible. And even if my Alchalasia is caused by pain Meds that's part of my life. I refuse to live life hurting 24/7. I would like to come off them and see, but I'm not going to. Good luck. I look forward to your posts
