Dalene, Sorry to hear what you're going through. Same here. Been complaining to my docs since last november...now they see the blockage and dilation just below the duodenum and I can't get solid food past without vomiting. Been on pain meds and liquids/smoosh for 6 weeks now. Having the fluid that's built up drained on Thursday but now they want me to do a special endoscopy where I swallow a micro-camera that will take pics every second over 8 hrs. The problem is that it can get stuck where the obstruction is, leading to immediate surgery. The docs think it's a good thing cause it will show them right where the problems are. I am trying to see it their way...but the pain, nausea and lack of food are getting to me. Hang in there. I'll post when I have results. jeanne
