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.
