1 ReactionI have watermelon stomach and been dealing w it for about 4 yrs. Have had Argon plasma treatments 10 times,
They sent me to new gastro who has done RFA (radio frequency ablation) X 3, still bleeding on and off having with a 4th on the schedule next week. I am very low on iron, my hgb is down to 8.9 from 11. (I've been as low as 5.0). Just want to chat w other people who are going thru this or have gone thru this condition! I really want to know if there is a permanent solution to this condition! 🤔 Thank you
