Cajun,

Thanks for sharing, very interesting, beautiful suture line. Is your issue with epiphrenic diverticulum resolving?

Yes, thanks for asking. It is small and I have no symptoms so the consensus thus far is to just do another upper GI xray in 4 months, to be sure it is not getting bigger. From the research I have read, over 80% of this type never changes and causes no problem. So I am feeling so much better about it. I sent all the pictures to Dr Aceves and he is going to look at them too. I am looking forward to hearing his opinion too. It's a very rare type of diverticulum, and the literature says even expert thoracic surgeons in major research hospitals don't see more than 20 in their entire lifetime.

Thanks so much for your concern.

THANKS SO MUCH! I was wondering also if I had a big ugly looking mess there that was not healed. I bet I am fine as wine.
