OP  Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)
Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Thanks for the advice. A local Gastro Dr is the one who did this. I think as you say. I will call UPMC and get this one to do it. He is the one who put it in. I think having 1/3 less stomache is one of the causes. It's wrapped around my esophagus because of Barretts. Nice to be getting advice from my friends, Thank you all again.
Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
