Thats a good point. I think the reason for surgery being less successful with lpr is because of diet. I know what you mean about the candy. Halloween didn't helpmy diet at all. I will write down to...

That's so weird tat you would use that analogy about the carpenter. I've never heard that in my life, but my mother said the exact same thing last nite. Funny. Maybe a sign I'm on the right track....
That is really good advice and I appreciate it. The main reason I picked him was because he did the partial wrap. One thing of note though. I also talked to dr aye at Swedish medical in Seattle and...
One more thing. My les and reflux rate have never been checked. Nor has the demeester? Don't even know what that is. My surgeon seems very capable, but i think his attitude is that the pills are bad...
Denise and bill, thanks for responding. I did put post on a new thread but no one responded to it. Here is my story in a nutshell. I'm 44. Three years ago I got heartburn for the first time ever. I...

That's basically what he told me. Let the Way I feel guide me and if I feel up to it I could be back to working out in three weeks. Maybe he knows my body will say no. Here is a question. Why do...
Did he tell you six weeks? He told me I could resume weightlifting and working out at 3 weeks no problem....
Now I just have to decide when to do it. I'm pretty active in the summer and travel a lot, so I might push it back to late summer. He scoped me on wednesday and found a 4cm HH. My biopsy came back...
Rum, You might want to check out dr Bagnato in Albany, Ga. I live in TN and had to drive 5 hours to see him, but for a good doc it's worth it. Also, he does the "hill". Which is why I picked him. He...
Couch, Dr Bagnato scoped me yesterday. Said I'm the perfect candidate for the hill surgery with 4cm HH. Now I just have to work out my schedule and see when I can get it done. I liked him. He seemed...
Track , How were your new scope results concerning your Barretts? Any changes good or bad? I got scoped today and the Dr. Found a 4cm hernia and some atypical cells. He said he's not at all worried...

Can you now eat normally? I mean do you still have to slowly eat and only eat smal meals? Or are you to the point that you don't even think about it. I guess just wondering if after surgery do things...
Sorry, my spellcheck changed Bagnato to magneto. I talked to Terri extensively today. My egd is scheduled for the 27th. I definitely have some concerns. I am concerned about losing too much weight...
Joy, Could I email you and ask you questions about dr magneto? I go to see him in 2 weeks thanks. Brian...
