Hi All
It’s now 16 months since my husband had his Esophagectomy . Yesterday during a clinic appointment with his surgeon he was told that it would now be unlikely that he would feel hungry again due to severed and damaged nerves that occurred during the surgery .This caused him frustration during the early months post surgery as in his words ‘The emphasis is on eating but it’s difficult when you just don’t feel hungry ‘ but over time he has become accustomed to it because he has had no choice …However recently he said he’s started to feel intermittently agitated during the day and he explained to his surgeon that he found eating took the agitation away .His surgeon couldn’t suggest a medical reason for it so we were all left questioning if his body has found another way of telling him when he’s hungry ..
As his weight has remained stable now for the past few months his surgeon was happy ..So happy she couldn’t resist adding a bit of humour to the end of the meeting by saying ‘I will see you in a few months ..Keep up the good work and keep on being agitated ‘ !! 
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this ‘agitation ‘ ? ( It’s the only way he can describe the feeling )
regards J
