! Oh, my! I am so glad you got more info. from Dr. Patti. You could always contact Dr. Fuller or Dr. Ippoliti at Cedars-Sinai, Beverly Hills/ West Hollywood, Ca. and I feel certain that they, too, would have some very interesting things to say about the new techniques for DES and Achalasia and NOT about how to 'CRACK THE CHEST'...jeesh! and I really hope your husband and you, too, can get some great help AND SOON ! , Thank you for your comments, too. I've been feeling really sick recently but it's not really like anything else I've experienced and your comments about fermenting food really makes me think that I've had this Achalasia stuff for a much, much longer time than I could have realized. I again felt lousey today and finally cancelled an outing for tonight...I was just feeling, well, kind of wasted down. Really sick all over. Your description of your feeling like this has helped me

to rethink how I eat, when and what I eat and stay in touch with how I feel in the time zone afterwards. I DO have my myotomy scheduled for later this month. I am assuming that while I am on liquid diets pre-op and post-op and then soft foods here and there, I'll be losing weight and I am all for that. Dakota! I started thinking about how whatever you had aspirated could have caused an infection and hence a cystic structure in your lungs...the antibiotics, I understand. The cyst itself becomes more and more interesting. But, the main thing, I think, is, that you feel better soon! So I am wishing you all the best wishes for good health! Sandy! How funny and fantastic that you have just mentioned the crate-training stuff with a dog! After my surgery and after I've been home a while, I will be getting a new doggie and this Crate Training Stuff is all new to me. ly,

I'm just a-waitin' the great new doggie to my life, hoping that I'll have been feeling better for a while when she/he comes to live with me, illuminating my life! Lee Ann! I am thinking about you! Hope you are doing very, very well! All best, Deborah, at the beach
