Terrible upper Gi experience.. some problems found.. any ideas?
Just got the final results via email and a note from my PCP. Everything is normal except for those two things that were mentioned to me. Here are the findings and the issues are the reflux and esophageal dysmotility with occasional tertiary contractions. Sent a note to my surgeon and his office manager and just waiting to hear back from them.

abnormality.

Kimberly, I am happy everything was pretty normal for you. Well besides the two issues, but hopefully they are not too major. I do not know exactly what they mean or how it will affect your DS surgery. Do you have any idea or do you have to wait to hear from Dr. E?

I know the reflux is common and his nurse/office manager said that wont be an issue. I have been trying to get a hold of someone from the office today and I emailed them the report last night and my Drs office was supposed to fax it to them this morning but so far I have not heard back from them yet.
I dont think there will be an issue with the second problem but obviously I want to know for sure so I know what is going on and if its going to change anything before, during or after surgery.
I will let you know when I know more. Thanks for thinking about me!
