Hi there,There  are certainly lots of different procedures for Achalasia. I help to run a help/discussion group for Achalasians.....we meet in London every month or so. 

Google...Meet up groups....and look for Achalasia and you should find us.

We meet in London as that is central for everyone...... Be great to see you at a meet up session?

All the best.
