I'm back from my initial consult with Dr. C. He and his practice are wonderful. They're so kind and understanding. They actually listened to me. Just to have someone listen to me I felt kind of at home. If it wouldn't have been totally weird, I would have hugged them all. He took out some of my fill and is hopeful that will help my reflux. If not, he will be interested in the EGD that Dr. Oweis had suggested. He said that I need a break from this tight band. I've been eating soft food and mostly soups for so long I don't know if I'd know how to eat normal food again (joke).

I can't say as I've noticed a miraculous improvement or anything, but I have noticed some of the pressure in my throat has improved. We'll see how the sore throat is in the morning.

One curious note, he sounded familiar with Dr. Duckett/Oweis and indicated he has received other patients of theirs who had left the practice. :guess
