Messenteric Hernia??

Hi everyone,  here's the latest update for those of you interested.  Currently, I weigh just 103 lbs. and the discussions of putting in a feeding tube are still being decided by the doctors.  I am now seeing a doctor at the University of Michigan.  She scheduled me for a CT Scan and another EGD.  I had the CT on Sunday the 10th. And, amazingly, the doctor called me on Monday afternoon, to let me know I have a messenteric hernia. She said it definitely needs to be repaired, but wants to do the EGD to make sure nothing else was missed. So, on the 26th, I'll have EGD at 9am and then I meet with the surgeon at 12:45.  I'm not sure what all reparing it will entail.  My understanding is my intestines are pushing through holes with in the tissue between the muscles and where the old layer of fat used to be. The biggest risk is it could strangulate at any moment, so she just said to watch out for anything more severe pain wise, in comparison to what i'm already used to.  She is hoping my stomach will hold off until the EGD. Anyways, that's it for now, I'll update again at the end of the month, when I know more.
