After 2 endoscopies and 1 CT scan, nothing to be found, thank the lord, but I have now been booked in for a stretch, not had one before, I know many of you have and some several, but I am terrified, I'm having general anesthetic, does anyone know why it's general and not sedation?. Also what happens after, ie: do you have to change your diet etc?

Thanks peeps

I'm not sure where it is yet, I have to chat to the nurse. I know they said the hiatus was tight, what's the procedure like and after did you have to follow a different diet? If you don't mind answering.June

Hi June,I was on a soft diet then but never felt anything. I remember they put botox in and took minutes to do.

It's probably to do with the hiatus is why you are being put out. It is good that nothing else there so enjoy the sleep.

Ahh thanks Debbie,I get so anxious, I get so worked up about any hospital visits, my surgeon knows that too, but I'm sure it will be fine, thank you once again.

Hi Kiddy I see you say you had a stent, can you tell me how you are doing with it and how you are managing your eating. I have had radiotherapy that has caused internal scarring so hard to swallow. Any help would be great Thank you and Happy New Year.

Hi there,Sorry I havn’t had a stent only a stretch with Botox after my oesphagectomy. I hope you get some answers from someone with the same.

Happy New Year to you too.

Best Wishes
