Wish me luck!
Am going to need a fair old bit of support. I've lived with this condition unwittingly since 1997, managing the original RA diagnosis as well as I could. I'm a big girl. Have been for years. Clinically obese. It has shaped medical attitudes towards me and it took the medics 10 yrs to finally

Hi Im new to Heart UK - suffered a mild heart attack in 2007
Hi I am new to Heart UK - found it via another Forum on Health Unlocked. In 2007 out of the blue I suffered what has been described as a very mild heart attack. However at the time I was in pain I thought it was my gallstone causing me problems as I had been diagnosed with multiple gallstones at

Nutrition and FMS/CFS
Well as promised I am forwarding on the information I got last night from seeing a nutrition therapist. I have to say it was a really positive and very interesting session and I think she may be able to help. From her research she looks at the body as a whole and looks for problems where drs might

Heart bypass surgery with WG
My husband has WG, diagnosed June time last year but some years before has had Varicose veins removed and problems with arteries in his legs. He is now going to have to undergo a triple bypass due to the arteries in his heart being furred up. This is now a fairly routine operation but I just wondered

Merendino jejunal interposition for T1 only cancer. What is it? A report back. This may help you to make a decision before an op.
I had this op 2 months ago and as its a fairly rare op and as my surgeon said 'adventurous', I was asked to keep the OPA informed......this is for early cancer only. I hope yours is. I was lucky they found T1 at the oesophagal and stomach junction & barretts but had to have it removed. The option

Great Holiday Insurance
After being rejected by Post Office after medical screening, Went back to my previous insurer, and, despite having much more to declare, severe asthma, diabetes, recent double heart bypass, spinal oesteoporis, I got full medical cover for Europe for one year at £292.47. Very impressed.

Oh my word!
Saw a new Professor yesterday who offered me a stomach bypass and said that it would reduce my exacerbations of asthma and reduce my admissions!. He said that a valve is faulty and is allowing acid into my lungs! So on Tues i am having cells taken from my lungs and then being started on Lansoprazole

HELP me make the decision re dumping or reflux.
I have sent previous comments so this is a follow up. I can have a jejunal interposition with 50% stomach with reflux issues OR the Roux on Y with no stomach and no reflux but there will be dumping. My op is next monday and I must decide. The question is how long does dumping last? For ever, goes

Everything fine post Oesophagectomy in 2004 but recently having swallowing problems again with reflux. A Roux-En-Y op. was mentioned.
Had the Oesophagectomy done back in 2004 for Achalasia. Then i remained generally problem free. It is only in the last 11 months that my old swallowing and reflux problems are recurring. I have had to have 2 dilatations in recent months. The surgeon mentioned my having a Roux-En-Y operation in the near

ROUX-EN-Y . Comments please.
At the OPA meeting on saturday in London, somebody said they had had a Roux-en-Y done. I wanted to speak to him but whilst chatting to somebody else he left. He said he does not get reflux. Can anybody else confirm this or not. I have this option in a few weeks when I'm have 'the op' and
