Because : Because of the combination of esophageal problems and appetite issues, i recommend that you talk to your doctor about working one on one with a nutritionist. The nutritionist could help devise an eating plan for you as well providing you with support. Take care.

See a doctor : This is a bit of a complex problem for a short answer. I would start by seeing a primary care provider. May need referral to a GI doc or surgeon with experience in esophageal diseases. Good luck.
