[Dysphagia] stretched esophagus?
With significant achalasia, the esophagus can become enormously stretched due to the constant "backing up" of food above the LES. I can't see how this could be related to the cervical surgery.

A friend of mine with EDS underwent her 2nd neck fusion. Here is part of an

of this before.

the fusion in her neck went well. The doctor said she
did have a pinched nerve, and that the surgery should help get rid
of some of the pain. He did say, however, that her esophogus was
stretched. He said she may want/need to see a specialist about
this.

My friend wants to know what type of specialist the lady should see who has
the stretched esophagus. My guess would be a GI MD?
Thanks!
