My Drs are wanting a feeding tube but I have to have surgery to do this. THe Nissen Fundiplication , that was done on my Esophagus using 1/3rd of my stomache by wrapping it around my esophagus is going to have to be undone and my stomache lowered to where it was. The surgeon that has to do it is the one that did the Nissen in 1996. It seems most are in the " NOT ME MODE" LOL. I wish I could say not me too. I hurt more than one would think possible right now, but will pull thru this one too. Slept until after 8 this AM and that is a never happened before amount of sleep for me. I'm just saying what has to happen before this thing might be taken care of, I am fine exceot for some pain. I have all the meds I need to make me feel better and that is all of my family here. With all of you behind me, How can I ,possibly miss? LOO.. Luv ya all. Jim
