Posted: November 3, 2011
We had a meeting with a doctor October 31 to see if he would be willing to do the fundoplocation surgery we need. What is normally an easy procedure, just isn't on Randy due to the stomach reconstruction and scar tissue from the thoracotomy last November. So he is not yet willing to do that surgery. He said that what he would like to do is see if a surgery called a laparoscopic pyloroplasty would help. He wants to try this procedure first, because if it doesn't work and a fundoplocation has to be done, they will have to do another thoracotomy. Randy will have this surgery on November 17 at Baylor Plano and will be in the hospital for 2 days with a 2 week recovery. Please be in prayer with us that this surgery is a success and the thoracotomy will not be needed.
