I have had several serious choking spells in the last couple of weeks and my swallowing has taken a sharp decline in recent weeks and the swallowing clinic has referred me for surgery to have a PEG inserted. I am told it should happen within the month. I was hoping to have this put off longer, but after a pretty scary and life threatening choking episode, I know that the time has arrived. I am a bit nervous due to esophageal surgery I had back in 1989 had alot of irritation from drainage tubes coming out of my abdomen, and I hope my body does not have an inflammatory response to the PEG tube when it is inserted.
Had my second opinion consultation, and the neurologist dx me as limb onset starting in my right foot and feels symptoms started 2 1/2 years ago.
Hoping my surgery goes smoothly without complications.
