There's not sufficient studies to show the exact rates of success but they commonly say 50/50. The Gastro doc is aware of that. We discussed the risks of both surgeries. I know one thing for certain. I can not continue with the aerophagia/sufflation because it WILL cause me other serious problems.

She didn't mention it by name but I imagine that would be the one.

There's a couple of different tests they would do to determine if it's even necessary. One is where I have a nasal gastric tube inserted for 24 hours and they observe the action of the sphincter.

I'm all late but the software mentioned a while ago in this thread shows as no downloads available. Any other options for this software?

I believe you'll find you're mistaken, the only one showing as available on the link you gave is 0.9.6.

the current version is 0.9.8-1, and that's NOT showing as available on the link you gave.

No, I meant the link that you provided is where I got it. My link was an old one.

Which is correct exe file? There are two - BrokenGL and OpenGL.

I need to upgrade.

Thank you.

It depends on your graphics card. You can try the Open and if it doesn't work use the Broken.

No problem. The sleep tech phoned me a little while ago. She was not happy that I adjusted the pressure myself but that's what she would have instructed me to do. Before she could say anything else I told her that I thought a visit with the doctor was in order. She agreed. The problem is they're scheduling appointments 4-6 weeks out. She wants to try to squeeze me in sooner somewhere. I want to be seen asap but I don't want to be rushed in and rushed out either.
