    Dear Guest99

    I think that you ought to talk with the specialist nurse or the surgeon's secretary at the place where you had the surgery done. It can be something that happens a while after this surgery, but tell them about it and they will give you the right information, especially if there is something specific that is making you vomit.

    Achalasia is connected with the nerves and the way that they operate in taking your food down to your stomach, so if you can relax and avoid stress, this often helps. I know that this is easier said than done!

    Some people do manage their condition quite well, indefinitely, but there is sometimes a process of fine tuning to make sure that the diagnosis and surgery / therapy has been adjusted and fine-tuned, so it does take quite a lot of patience, and it is natural to become frustrated. It is also worthwhile persevering to get it done right when you are young.

    You might like to talk to Dawn on the OPA helpline on 0121 704 9860.
