back from the GI specialist
So I had my follow up with the GI specialist and I have to have another dilation. The coordinator said that GI is really backed up and they can't get me in until May :( I'm feeling good though, I've only thrown up a few times since having the dilation 2 weeks ago.

Mandy - this just isn't right. You shouldn't be throwing up so much and the dilations should be working for you. Success shouldn't be monitored by how many times you throw up in a 2 week period.
I'd put my foot down and tell them enough is enough. You deserve to have it done, and done right. I'd be way beyond frustrated right now.
I'm glad to see you've got a good attitude about it. But you need to make the squeaky wheel squeak.

I'm glad you are doing better but I kind of agree with Jody. You should be over the dialation and especially over the throwing up. I hope they get you fixed but I would be pissed to have to wait a month. That seems unfair.

Mandy,
I am glad you are feeling better. Is there another GI doctor that you can use to get this cleared up sooner or can they put you on a call list if they have a cancellation? I would hate for it to get worse before your May and you be back at square one again.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Are you having to stay on liquids or purees still or are you able to eat some food?

I am sorry if you are bad enough to need a dialation there is no way they can make you wait until May - that is insane and malpractice. You shouldnt have to throw up while waitng 6 weeks for a test. when my GI says I need an Endoscopy, even if he is booked, he squeezes me in that week because he knows I need the test. If he thinks I might have an ulcer, he isnt' going to make me wait. That is crazy - I would switch doctors.
