Re: EGD with Savory Dilation

[Guest guest]

Dear , In the middle of your post is the excellent news that the tissue is healthy. I think that that is SUCH an important point and I hope that through all your troubles you and will be able to focus on that. Good luck with the remainder of the investigations.

someirritation, which they biopsied. We were a little worried that he wasgetting some reflux and that he might have some more irritation goingon this time, the good news is that the tissue in there lookedhealthy. I asked him if he wanted to see a neurologist (like hehinted at at 's office visit last week) and he said it might notbe a bad idea. That makes sense to me, but I don't know if theneurologists even know a lot about E motility disorders (let alonehave any tricks yet to treat it). I'll keep you posted if he does goand if this doc has any special tricks up her sleeve. Have a great day, everyone! in Michigan Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.

Thanks, Ann! Another interesting thing: I asked the doctor if he

could see any scaring from the 3 rounds of Botox 's had. He said

he couldn't. Sounds like another thing to be thankful for!
