Well I went to the GI doc today. She was very nice and understanding. I took her a copy of my CT and dictation from my VSG which she greatly appreciated.

She also did not look at me weird because I had ny surgery out of the US. I told her my approval story anyway and she was very understanding of everything I went to to get the surgery. Can you tell I like her? 
Anyhoo I have my upper Gi with endoscopy scheduled for Wednesday the day before I leave to go see mickey mouse with my 9 year old.

She said the doctor will take a couple of biopsies and if there is a stricture he will go ahead and dilate it as well.

I will be back on my normal eating stage after the procedure. If you need a good GI doctor in the Northern Virginia are GI and associates is the place to go.

glad you found a good doc and good luck with the endoscopy. when i was dealing with my bleeding ulcer after surgery, i had so many of those i cant count em! in fact, it got to the point that i actually looked forward to them because i loved the propofol so much...lol. can anyone say michael jackson, rip. seriously though, i totally understand the demon he was dealing with.
