Guest guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hi mike... I too had a hm in 2009... And recently have been having some issues. I was curious if your symptoms came on gradually or quickly? Also what exactly do they do with a redo myotomy? Glad to hear you will be getting help soon , California Sent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I actually had a few issues shortly after surgery that were taken care of with a dilation. Symptoms came on pretty suddenly this time, and I tried just having it dilated a couple times. That allows some liquids thru, but no solids.  I will be having the wrap taken out this time, and the surgeon will look at the original site and make sure all fibers were cut. I'm not really sure what she will do if she sees that they are. But she said that because she is using the robot, she will be able to see everything better. Apparently, with the robot she can get a 3d view as opposed to the 2d view available without. mike in WI  Hi mike...
