hey guys I had an endoscopy done in november and my food still feels like its stuck in my throat and I have to drink so much water to finally get it down, i am wondering if anyone has had to have the esophagus stretched more than once a year?

Hi And Thanks FoR Responding My What Is The Nissan FondO?

I Am Thinking About Not Getting My Esophagus Stretched Again Since I Think It A Waste Of Time, I Wonder If They Can Do Anything Permanently To Open Your Esophagus?

the nissan fundo is supposed to stop your heartburn they take your stomache and rap it around your esphogus to tighten the area that is weak i honestly beleive mine was done to tight and now my food get's stuck in my esphogus and it burn's worst than any heartburn i had before the surgery
