Supreme Court overstepping their boundaries

[scaeagles]

Actually, no reflux issues at all. It is standard practice when performing the surgery I required to also perform an anti-reflux procedure called a "toupet fundoplication", which involves some sort of manipulation of the junction of the esophagus and the stomach to prevent that. I guess around 80% of people needed it later, so they just automatically include it rather than having to do another surgery later on.

There are two problems I experience - I must take a drink of water after every bite or two of food to wash the food down, as the nerves are dead in the esophagus and it doesn't move food down. Took a while to adjust to that as habit, but the pain involved if I didn't made it something quick to catch on to. The other is a that I get some pretty severe spasms in my esophagus. Some are debilitating, others just an annoyance, but I'm used to them enough by now that they are only a problem if they happen at night and keep me awake.
