Congratulations! I see that your procedure will be endoscopic. I'm seriously interested in the ESG procedure. Do you have any recommendations for good doctors in the Southeast (USA) that perform the ESG procedure?

Hello Cinnamon I'm sorry about not getting back to you yesterday. I have a bit of a summer cold. I'm getting my surgery with Dr. McGowan through New You in Cary, NC. They have a website www.newyou.com. My procedure is just under $12,000. The are so nice there. The doctor has wonderful reviews and peer reviews. He studied this procedure through John Hopkins.

The other thing I really like is that it will done at Wake Med Cary which is a trauma hospital and not a surgery center just in case anything goes wrong. Give me a holler if you have any more questions.

LOL...it's Marisol, then me and then you

I found these sugar free powder mixes to add to water at walmart for $3.84...In case we cannot tolerate plain water after surgery or just to change it up a bit. They are really good. I'm picking up little things now but not too much.

Wanda those look so good. I'm going to grab some tomorrow. I'm not a big water drinker. I live in NC where sweet tea pretty much replaces water it might as well come out of water fountains.

Hello friends. I have my barium swallow test tomorrow afternoon. I was told to fast 4 hrs before but forgot to ask if I could have water. Does anyone know?

BTW: We are all one day closer to our new healthier lives....YAY US!!!!!
