Hi Connie,

I noticed the Lockport connection. Yes, I am at Roswell. I am on Protonix and Sucralfate. I had a constriction of the esophagus and was scheduled for an endoscopy and dilation the week in January that I had the vomiting issue. It got postponed a week and when they did the scope they saw evidence of some ulceration near the stomach.

I am 6' 1" and never had a serious weight problem but over the years my weight went up to around 210. I became borderline high blood pressure and had reflux issues, particularly after meals at nice restaurants. In 2010 I went on my own diet and lost over 20 pounds, and along the way dropped the reflux and BP problems too.

It was over a year later that I got the cancer diagnosis. I was 187 on August 3, 2011 the day of my first biopsy. I am 157 today. It think my ideal weight if I can get back there is 180. I need to get back into my old clothes!
