They said it was harder on the tissue. But I might ask again. I am anxious to hear about this next appt.

I have had barrett's esophagus for 25 year's. They have done nothing for it at all. I believe the last 5 years he said it has dysplasia. But that is the least of my worries. I have so many other things wrong, gastroparesis with chronic nausea, chronic pancreatitis that I get a egd and eus every 2 months with a celiac block to the pancreatic nerves. I am on a feeding tube and pump fed into my small intestine. I have horrible bile reflux that has scared my esophagus really bad. I also have severe malabsorption and suddenly lost 15 pounds 3 months ago. I can't seem to put any of the weight back on. I am 5'5 and weight 96 pounds, my bmi is 15. I hate it. I made my doctor put me on pancreatic enzymes and they seem to be slowly helping but make my entire digestive system feel horrible and cramps really bad. My doctor hasn't ran any tests on me in over 10 years yet when I told him I think we need to see what is going on with my pancreas he said I was at the end of the road? How can he say that without even running tests? I am sure my pancreatic duct and common bile duct are blocked again. I'm getting a 2nd opinion at Shands hospital, I can't believe that at 63 now I'm done. I don't know how you can say that without looking at labs or looking inside my pancreas and checking my ducts. Any ideas would be appreciated. But my barrett's esophagus doesn't bother me.
