There goes my snapping my Achilles story, something that was an inconvenience as part of your recovery from being half mangled to death. Amazing story. Thanks for sharing.

Don't stop taking the Omeprazole. If they put a camera in you to have a look and it's all inflamed, they can tell you to come back in a month after taking it. It makes a big difference.

Source: this happened to me.

I've had three esophageal dilations so far.

People: if you have bad heartburn, take Omeprazole a while before eating and before bed (it's cheap and available everywhere). Do this before you end up messily regurgitating food in a restaurant in front of your boss and strangers. This has happened to me, and I have run off to purge food stuck in my esophagus more times than I could ever recall.

It's not pretty and is fairly depressing to have to take so much care in eating, but it can be prevented.
