Hi: Wanted to let you know an update. I had an appointment with the GI specialist this morning. He says he is cautiously optimistic that the new meds I have been on for several months will be the answer. He does not feel it is a mechanical problem and the surgeon has confirmed that. I am seeing the surgeon at the end of this month as the GI people requested that he take a second look at my CT scans.

I feel very hopeful that this will work out. The doctor also said that he feels I will be safe to travel as long as I travel to a country with good medical coverage. If I can make it to March that will be 6 months since my last obstruction and we will book a trip.

Thank you for asking me for follow up information. I really appreciate your interest.
Marsha

That certainly is encouraging news, @marshae. Second opinions are important and I'm glad that you were able to see another specialist.

I hope that you continue to do well. Please keep posting as you have other concerns or questions. I'd enjoy hearing from you again.
