Woohoo... next step completed!
Yesterday I went for the Gastroscopy (all fine) and manometry and pH studies. Manometry was NOT fun - they insert a thick loooong tube through your nose down your oesophagus while you're awake and you have to swallow swallow swallow. Quite painful! The pH was interesting too - during the scope they insert a capsule into your oesophagus at the entrance to your stomach - this measures acids and refluxes etc and transmits to a device. This capsule will dissolve in the next day or 2, but it feels like horrid heartburn for now!

But the good news is that surgery is confirmed for 6 May!!!

On April 7th I need to start a puree diet for 2 weeks, then liquids for 2 weeks until surgery.

Here we go!!
