Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Wow, thats fantastic, I thought I'd never find anyone near my who knew what it was, let along had the same condition!!!!! I live in Crick (right on the Warwickshire, Northamptonshire border). We recently moved from Rugby so my Dr and Surgeon are both in Warwickshire. My surgeon is Dr Menon at Walsgrave hospital near Coventry. How do you feel after your surgery? Has it improved things for you? Thanks so much for getting in touch -Jo >From: " Pippa " <kevin.brown150@...> >Reply-achalasia >achalasia >Subject: Re: Newbie/Jo >Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 11:45:47 -0000 > >Hey Jo where in Northamptonshire are you from? > >I too live in Northamptonshire and had my surgery done at Kettering >Hospital In Spetember still on sick leave at the moment. > >I can't believe I have found someone else who lives so close to me >with the same condition if you would like a chat e-mail me >personnal if you like, maybe we could met up my personal e-mail >address is kevin.brown150@... > >I would really love to hear from you. > >Where is your surgeron Northampton or kettering Hospital > > >Pippa Northamtonshire > > > > > > > > > > Thank you all so much for your support - its great to have > > > received so > > > > many messages so quickly - I certainly don't feel alone in > > > handling > > > > this. > > > > > > > > For those of you who asked, I'm 31 and I live in the Midlands >in > > > the > > > > UK.
