Hey all,
Well today was quite the meeting! I met with the surgeon to discuss the LINX and what not. Turns out that, because I had a pyloroplasty when I was about 8 weeks old, I probably am not eligible. I guess this is under their 'no previous gastric surgery' rule!
Anyway, he didn't like the sound of my stomach when he tapped it, so I have to go for a gastric emptying test tomorrow, a SIBO test later this week, and another endoscopy with biopsies (first did not have these) as well as a play with my pylorus to see how it functions next monday. I am sort of relieved because I'd been suspicious of both for some time.
The plot thickens! Hopefully we can get to the bottom of why I've been feeling so ill. He did talk of a flopp 360 nissen, but we want to treat everything else first.
All in all, very impressed and feel safe in his hands. Have really struck gold with my doctors/surgeons, and am so thankful.
Just letting you know,
Paul
