Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I agree that Christine tube sounds great, I have had 13/3 of my stomache wrapped arounf my Esophagus in 1996 for severe gastric problems tha would turn to cancer and still I have the Barretts Esophagus. This is the Drs holdup not mine. No I have no wife but have 3 kids in the area within 5 mile either way. They want whatever me and the Drs want. I will ask the Dr about the tube Christine has as soon as I see him. Right no9w we are doing the CtScan tomorrow to see if my half repaired aortic anneurysm is safe for surgery to finish it without it killing me.It is an abdominal aortic anneurysm and this will be the 3rd surgery on it. I will piost whatever I find out after the scan. Thanks for the con=cerns. LOL I I guesss I am a hardhead as I was brought up to be self sufficient . It seems if I can't do for myself, things just don't get done.
