For about 30 years, I have had a problem with food getting stuck in my esophagus. It does not choke me. Just will not go down or takes forever. It happens with white meat chicken especially or if I eat too fast. VERY embarrasing when it happens around people. I SWEAR it's the fault of Boot Camp. It NEVER happened to me till I was in Tech School. I think eating so fast in Boot Camp did something to my esophagus! LOL AAAANYWAY, I had things scoped in Spring 1992. Was told I just have a smaller esophagus and ......CHEW! That procedure stretched things for about a year or two. SOOO, when I'm knocked out, gonna see if they can do both and be done with it.
