disaster averted

I was supposed to see a doctor at Johns Hopkins at the end of October. A week or so before the appointment, I got a call from the department assistant telling me that they needed to cancel the appointment because the doctor was out sick for an indefinite time. I could reschedule for her next available appointment or meet with one of the other

Good luck, and let us know what you find out!

I anticipate being told that I have exhausted my nonsurgical options - leaving two options: pyloraplasty (not a great option since the botox wasn't a miracle cure) and a gastric neurostimulator. First, however, I expect that they will re-run all the tests that were already done just to confirm for themsleves that I really do have gastroparesis. Because, you know, no other hospital could possibly get accurate results.

Will either surgical option relieve your pain?

REALLY?????? so I told her she better give me a time that works for ME this time so we rescheduled for tomorrow since I have off for christmas. she called today. hi this is judy from bais yaakov. im like uh oh.
