Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi everyone: I saw Dr. Fuller today at Cedars-Sinai for my 5 month post op -- we were a mutual admiration society -- he glad to see I am swallowing so well (he was very diplomatic about my addition of 15 pounds) and I glad that I chose him as my surgeon (thanks Sandy!). I go back in August for a timed barium and endoscopy to check on the status of my E and then annually after that to make sure that my E is remaining in good health. He mentioned he has done 50 VATS myotomies this year, that is a ton considering CA numbers of 350 new cases each year and 4200 of us on the West Coast. He is working on a study to publish regarding the benefits of VATS heller without a wrap. Just wanting to keep all of you posted who can learn from my experience. Peggy from Lompoc, CA, who ate a whole bunch at lunch today to celebrate, diets be damned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
