Hi Charm, yes I do see a speech therapist and I'm doing the shaker Head Raise exercises now.. Due to the fact that I was Radiated in 2005 now this surgery it has complcated my situation also. I'm going to see a Thoracic Dr. soon and see if dialating my esophagus will help any like when I had radiation. Are you able to swallow whole food now? I will check out that link on exercises, Thanks
