> Hey everyone! I wanted to post the results from my endoscopy today. Some

positive news to post for the newbies out there...Short story, I had my surgery

5 years ago this past November. I am doing pretty good. Still drink alot of

water with meals and have to rely on gravity to get all the food down, but it

doesn't slow me down one bit! It's been 3 years since my last endoscopy. I had

a scary moment a few weeks ago where I couldn't get water to go down. Doc

thinks it was residual food left over from the day before. I guess I didn't do

a good job with dinner the night before. Sometimes I get too confident in what

I can eat, and therefore have big issues getting the food to go down.
