I just got home and Dr. Feldman was able to open me up... He freaked me out cuz just before I was going under he said there was probably a better than 70% chance he could dilate me, but after I awoke, they told me he was successful. I am sipping some Crystal Light right now and trying t re-learn how to swallow. I have to progress slowly with just liquids today and then trying some soft proteins through the weekend. If all goes well, Dr. Cahalan will take my G-tube out on Tuesday. I will have to go back in 2 weeks to have Dr. Feldman perform the procedure one more time and stretch it a little more, but I feel like such a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thanks all for your prayers and wamr thoughts! B

I was waiting for your post today and I'm so GLAD that they could "fix" you. This is great!!!! One more dilation and then your home free!!! Glad to hear the crystal light is going down well. Keep sipping those liquids. The more you can get in during a day the more likely they will take out the G-tube. Good luck with the soft proteins!!!!

Boy, you have sure been through the ringer!! I'm glad they finally got you fixed. Hopefully you can get that stupid tube out soon. I know I was happy to be rid of that thing. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt a bit when they take it out.
