Still not right...
Dec 14, 2009
Last Friday, I had my second EGD where the nice GI Dr. stretched my now called stricture to 17mm. I had high hopes and was able to eat a few things without getting sick but it was very short lived. I returned to Dr. Boyce and he sent me for another Upper GI but this time I was to eat hamburger with the barium on it. I ate two bite and they were stuck. The Dr was dumbfounded and didn't understand. I drank more barium and then some water and THEN sat there for an hour and still nothing it all was still stuck.I got a call from Dr. Boyce's office today and they have scheduled me for surgery on Dec. 23rd. I can't remember what the procedure is that he told me he was going to be doing .... some sort of plasty. Anyway, I will be in the hosptial for at least 3 days - long enough to miss Christmas. :(
I don't have much else to say, other than I don't want to have more surgery. I sure don't want to be in the hospital on Christmas but I need this fixed and if I have to have this done I need it done before years end because we have defineately met our out of pocket max with insurance.
