I met today with the surgeon who I was referred to, but he doesn't do the poem procedure. I'm getting another referral from my primary to see another surgeon who does this surgery and comes with high regard. There will be alot more travelling involved though, but he sounds like it will be worth that extra burden so I can get the best advice and care. Round trip will be at the least 2 hours. Interstate highway. I will just need the earliest appointments scheduled. This is my only option left.

I know how it is to get down to your only options with health. I am to the POEM stage yet. The past few days I have not been able to get food down, but can liquids. I have a call into Mayo in Jacksonville and they are suppose to call be back for a date for an endoscopy.

Please keep us updated on your progress.
