Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi all = haven't been on much lately although, like some others, I still do read almost all the posts. I had HM 8 yrs ago, and had a couple dilations shortly afterward. Things were going really good until a couple months ago. I went for a barium swallow and nothing was going down - first drop made it thru in about 5 minutes. I had 2 dilations a week apart, but they didn't do much. I can usually swallow liquids, altho it often takes a 'hard swallow' to get down. The good news is that a redo myotomy is finally scheduled. I go in Oct. 19! I am having the redo done robotically at UW Madison. So I called the insurance company for pre-certification, and they will only certify outpatient surgery. I may not be in long, but I'm quite sure it won't be outpatient! They are supposed to be calling the Dr. to get more information.
