Guest guest Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 So my appt went well, Dr Kline answered a lot of my questions. He wants to do some tests on me to see what exactly is going on with me. Kinda not looking forward to another manatory (I don't think I spelled that lol) study and a 24 ph study which will be a new one for me. Oh yeah he said he'll make sure that he remembers not like my idiot GI doctor. Another plus is that he treats about 3-4 patients a week with Achalasia!! from So Cal Sent via BlackBerry by AT & T Big Day!!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 , that's good news that Dr. Kline treats many with achalasia. I have heard of him and they have very goood doc's at USC for Achalasia. I don't envy you having to go through another manometry test, oh I hate those!!!! Did he mention a dilitation?? When will you have the tests done?  Well, hang in there and glad you are moving forward towards getting a fix and some relief!  Thinking of you, Julee in Oregon! ________________________________ From: " brandygarcia33@...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 He did mention about it but he wants to see the tests first. It won't be until next month, I have a HMO so I have to wait for an auth. To get approved but my insurance is pretty quick with that kinda of stuff. Thanks Sent via BlackBerry by AT & T Big Day!!

Dr. Steve DeMeester met with me first and performed the tests which confirmed achalasia. The manometry at USC was much easier than the test that had been performed at my local hospital in San Diego. The equipment and technicians at USC were excellent. I chose to have a pneumatic dilitation rather than a myotomy; because Dr. DeMeester is a surgeon, he referred me to Dr. Kline, a GI, who performed the 30 mm dilitation. That was four years ago, and I'm continuing to eat well since. You have selected an excellent doctor, and I wish you well. Please feel free to contact me if you wish. Warm regards, Love in San Diego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
