I had the same surgery and it was very successful. Can't believe it but it's almost been 14 years ago. I got really lucky in that I still have peristalsis in the top two thirds of my esophagus so I can eat whatever I want 99% of the time. Still have to eat slow and I get terribly painful muscle spasms a few times a year.

I had the same thoughts about space after my diagnosis! I even worry about back injuries or anything that would leave me flat on my back in bed since swallowing would become difficult. Just SUPER grateful for laparoscopic surgery so I didn't have to go through the old open chest version.

Be well and swallow smoothly!

Some places just want to be very clear that sick time is the same for every employee while PTO hours can vary based on seniority/merit etc. Most folks already understand that, but some people need it spelled out.
