Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I saw my doctor this morning and I am definitely going to have surgery. He did tell me that there are no surgeons in Bangor Maine so the closest place is Portland Maine. He did recommend Boston or Dartmouth but agrees that MaineCare isn't likely to pay for me to have surgery there if it is available at all in Maine. I am putting off surgery till after the first of the year so that I can finish college and at least enjoy the summer. He did say that I could have another botox injection if needed to help me get by until surgery. He was questioning the spasms I told him I was having. He told me my manometry test showed no motility at all so he said that I shouldn't be experiencing any E spasms. He did give me a prescription for Levsin(sp) so I will try that to see if it helps. I will see him again in December or sooner if things worsen enough for me to even consider another botox injection. At that time I will get referred to the surgeon and he will take it from there. The surgeon he would refer me to is Roy Cobean. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
