Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Mike, I live on Long Island and was in NYC today to see Dr. Traube at NYU Medical. Before you see Dr. Richter (who I have also seen), please consider making an appointment with Dr. Traube, who I will be writing about at length in the next few days. achalasia- had 2 myotemies already Hi im 28 in nyc. i had 1 myotemy with wrap in 2001 by dennis fowler and another myotemy this year where they removed the wrap by alfonz pomp, my current dr through all this is arnon lambroza. i still have severe swallowing problems and will see joel richter in philadelphia soon. seems like im running out of options im afraid a baloon dilation will damage the 2 surgeries and removing the esophagus completely is too extreme for how young i am. please let me know if you have any ideas what i should do or if you know dr richter thanks very much ------------------------------------ Quote
