I have not heard of any relation between a recent surgery and megaesophagus. Where'd you read that?
I can't say what this might be, but the esophagus is very visible on an x-ray. You might want to have that done, perhaps using barium to get a really good look and to see if it's moving it down in a normal manner.

I know that it sounds something like MegaE, but in most of the posts on this list about megaE, the ferret was also grinding the teeth and had had recent surgery
