i am 16 years old and have had achalasia for a year now. it took a few months to diagnose me because the GP is a nobhead. i have had one balloon dilation which was no help whatsoever. i am going in for surgery in a few weeks and I WANT TO KNOW IF I SHOULD GET THE OPEN OR KEYHOLE SURGERY.
PLEASE SOMEBODY RECCOMMEND SOMETHING :D.
I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE IN MUCH PAIN AFTER SURGERY AND HOW LONG IS IT BEFORE YOU START EATING AGAIN.
PLEASE WRITE BACK :wink:

I had my op on the 9th Jan (07) and it is now 23rd Jan (07).
My op went well but the surgeon cut through the second lining in the gullet, which made things more complicated. I had to be put on a drain and my hospital stay was much longer. So much that i got fed up and discharged myself on wednesday. (Just a week after the op). I was put on a sloppy diet and apparently have to continue that for 6 weeks. Which sucks! And I am still a little weak on my feet. I am due back to go the clinic in a week or so, so maybe then they will give me more advice.
The pain after surgery is not that bad at all. I just felt aching and stiffness.
Good luck!
