Hungry. Going into the hospital tomorrow for an EGD, an outpatient procedure - Over years of GERD, I have developed an œsophageal stricture which has on occasion caused me some difficulty when something got stuck and would go neither up nor down without great wretchedness.

So tomorrow doc's gonna snake a balloon down there and stretch it out, as well as check for Barrett's esophagus - which I fervently hope I don't have. But better to know and be safe than let something like that go untreated.

Prilosec miraculously put out the fire - I've not needed Tums (which I used to eat like popcorn) for months. By the holy skull of Mogg's grandmother, that's one effective medication. But now it's time to check for residual damage.

Not looking forward to this at all, but it needs to be done, and I'll be glad to have the stricture out of the way.

I'll be praying. That is a simple enough operation, but as with all such things, it has certain risks.

Seeing the later posts I'm glad you got through it and hope you are clear.
What would you do with the last of Barrett's private ears?
