Question for Terry

[Guest guest]

Terry,

I'm just curious (and I don't remember reading this in what you've

told us about your history), who did your fundo? I know that when my

husband first went to Univ. of Michigan almost 2 years ago, the

doctors weren't sure if he had reflux or a motility disorder. The U

of M GI doc told him there is a surgery for reflux (fundoplication),

but if he really has a motility problem he would be miserable after

the surgery. After motility tests (these were repeats of tests done

at our local hospital), they determined that his problem was really a

motility problem and not reflux, so we went from there. I just

wondered if whomever did your fundoplication checked into that first,

or if, like some here have suggested, your problems stem from having

the surgery.

I'm so glad you're getting help from members here! It sounds

like you are near some very qualified doctors, so you can seek out

their opinions without a lot of traveling. Good luck on Tuesday with

Dr. Patti!
