Quite well, thank you. No problems since the surgery. My post-surgical occassional bad day is like my pre-surgical occassional good day used to be.

Quite thankful for it, really.

You're not expecting more surgery, are you?

Thanks. And no, not expecting any more. May have to have an outpatient procedure in a couple months which is common (to stretch the esophagus, as healing will cause shrinkage - I was told this pre surgery).

Outlook is pretty good, although studies are limited. The only long term study ever done could only find 51 people in the world who have had my surgery over 10 years ago, and 48 have had no problems.

As it is incurable, I still have days when I spasm up. That's all I was referring to.

I can probably do the esophagal stretching for a much more reasonable price if you are shopping around.

Can you beat the $20 copay? Of course, I'm willing to bet you'd do it for free just to be a nice guy.
