Re: Myotomy Re-Do with Dr. Rice

[Guest guest]

So glad to hear that. He will start feeling much better in a few days.

My swallowing has also improved in last couple of weeks and I can now

eat almost 70% of a normal meal proportion. I have tried almost

everything other than bread, citrus fruits and chocolates. Although

one thing worries me that I have not gained any weight yet. BTW I went

back to work today and felt great.

Have a Merry Christmas!
