Hallo zusammen, nach 10 Jahren der Suche nach Antworten über die ungewöhnlichen Würgeanfälle meiner Tochter haben wir endlich eine Diagnose von Achalasie erhalten. Sie wird nächste Woche operiert, um diesen Zustand zu korrigieren. Sie ist 13 Jahre alt und hat unter GERD und dem, was wir für Asthma hielten, gelitten, das sich jedoch als eine Blockade ihrer Luftröhre durch ihre Speiseröhre herausgestellt hat, die ihre Atmung einschränkt. Ich bin neugierig zu hören, wie es anderen, die diese Operation hatten, danach ergangen ist.
Hi
What type of surgery is your daughter having , I have had a few different types for my Achalasia .

Welche Operation wird sie haben? Ich bin Typ 1 Achalasie und jetzt 5 Wochen postoperativ. Immer noch in der Heilungsphase und beginne gerade, mehr feste Lebensmittel auszuprobieren.
I have heard of a young person with oesophageal asthma. It is something that is a very specialist area for the doctors to diagnose. I think once the diagnosis had been made and it was clear exactly where the problem was, then it turned out OK.
Good luck to you and your daughter. I too went years telling doctors something is wrong and finally had a GI do the mamometry test and my pressures where so high. I remember one normal number would be 75 and mine was 174. I had a started with Botox that seemed to make it mad. Everything I read just didn't sound like something I wanted to do. Just didn't want serious surgery removing parts of my body. Found a specialist in Tampa FL., he did a pneumatic dialation. Worked wonders!!!!!!. It's a short 30 minute procedure, nothing removed, in 2 days back to regular eating no problems. No GERD, no soft food diet. Now this may only last 2 to 3 years, but I figure it is better than having something removed. Did another mamometry test (worst test ever invented) and my esophagus looks like a healthy normal esophagus. So good luck I hope your daughters outcome is a great as mine was!!!
Wie haben sie das herausgefunden? Welche Tests wurden durchgeführt?
Was diagnosed with Achalasia 7 years ago. Like 1blindmice also had a dilation, was great initially but the esophagus gradually started tightening. The (very) good news was that it settled to be considerably better than it was at first. Have to drink a lot of water at meals but that's a small price to pay. Good luck, and I hope your daughter's condition improves greatly with whatever treatment you go for.
