Had my video conference with Dr. K. Went well. getting all my ducks in the row. Most likely it will be the 1st week of november.
So much information was discussed during the call. Got a very GOOD feeling with Dr. K. I didn't feel like I was a failure, explaining everything...and there is a lot. He listened and asked me some questions. What I should have clarified with him, but I didn't because other items came up in discussion....the feeding tube. What? What feeding tube? He said I will have to give myself nutrition that way. Has anyone else had that? How long does that stay in? I hope I don't have to go home on the plane with a tube. If I have too, I will deal with it. Where is that inserted? Will I have to go under again to have the tube taken out and suture whatever it comes out of? Do I have to fear leaking internally?
I have to send an email to his office to clarify this. I figured I would ask everyone here if they went through this and what should I expect with this.
I'm still going through all of this. Making my appointment for the upper GI series next week. Sent him all my operative reports, my scans, my endoscopes and medical folder. He will do the endoscopy when i'm there to make a final decision it he can do the surgery on me. PLEASE GOD, please, please, I pray Dr. K can fix me.
