Share your quitting journey
You never know with anesthesia whether you'll be coming back.
But you can be sure smoking is doing damage.
Yes, I have another treatment for diseased tissue in my esophagus.
Did you know that smoking weakens the valve at the bottom of your esophagus leading into your stomach which can lead to GERD/acid reflux?
When you quit smoking, be aware of heartburn or waking up with stomach acid in your mouth at night. Get treatment immediately. Don't put it off.
Never lie down less than 3 hours after you've eaten. If you have reflux, one potato chip, one chocolate kiss or one cookie will signal your stomach to fill with acid which can back up into and burn your esophagus.
