Not sure I am making the right decision

[Guest guest]

The more I read on this site the more I think that surgery is only going to

speed my road to an ectomy. I find it unsettling that a patient of Dr. Rice

with a sigmoid esophagus who just went through a myotomy, now needs an ectomy.

Isn't this foreshadowing? Shouldn't I bee looking at signs here?

What makes me think my situation would be different? Rice won't talk to me at

all and I am completely turned off by him.

I haven't had my consult with Dr. L as of yet, not sure if that will give me

more reassurance - probably not.

I'm beginning to feel like my best chance of a good quality of life is to do

NOTHING until problems arise.

If Rice is so damn good and so damn amazing like everyone toutson this site why

haven't I heard of any success stories?

If there is anyone who has had a successful myotomy done by Rice, please speak

up if you can. I only have heard of his failures, and there are others besides

. I read those stories in the past.

The only other things I have heard about Rice is his expertise in doing

ectomies.

So why do people consider him the best? I don't get it and I am more confused

than ever. I have my surgery date but no plane tickets. I can cancel at any time

and now I am seriously thinking about it.

I really need some support if you can spare it.
