Well I guess the wls is not completely out of the question as I now have an appointment at the Motility lab to repeat the test that diagnosed it in the first place.  Not sure if Dr Gmora just wants to see for himself what my other specialist saw or what. When he gets these results he's taking my case to his colleagues to see what they can recommend.   I'm just happy that its not an absolute NO yet. 

Only problem is, the darn appointment isn't until May 28!  I called to change it because hubby is working that day, and they said that after that, they're not booking until late June early July.  So I left the appointment as is and asked to be put on the cancellation list.  She said usually around March break they get a few cancellations, and also because this is a bad flu season, I may get called in sooner. 

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed, not giving up yet, still doing as much research and reading up on as much about wls as I can.  It helps me to come on here and read about all your successes and I love to grab all the tips and hints offered.  Keep em coming!  Thanks for being here,  Terry

Well that is good news!  Like you said there is still hope!  Good luck & keep us posted!

Your in my thoughts and prayers, wishing you all the best!

If it`s at a doctors office, maybe you can call and say, is there any good day for me to come in early and wait for an opening?

What is nutcracker esophagus?

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/esophageal-spasms/DS00763/D SECTION=causes

Causes

By Mayo Clinic staff

It's not clear what causes esophageal spasms.

A healthy esophagus normally moves food into your stomach through a series of coordinated muscle contractions (peristalsis). Esophageal spasms disrupt this process by making it difficult for the muscles in the walls of your lower esophagus to coordinate in order to move food to your stomach.

Types of esophageal spasms
Esophageal spasms may occur in two forms:

• Diffuse esophageal spasms are occasional contractions in the esophageal muscles. This type of spasm is often accompanied by regurgitation of food or liquids.
• Nutcracker esophagus is the term for painfully strong contractions in the esophageal muscles. Nutcracker esophagus is less likely to cause regurgitation of food and liquids.

Hope you get an earlier appt. Maybe call periodically to remind them you are waiting.
