Esophageal Varices

We're at the hospital today for a scheduled procedure. Approximately every 4-6 months Ron comes in for a endoscopy for banding of his varices (blood vessels gone wild) in his esophagus. This is an outpatient procedure; today's procedure is mighty early - 6:00am. We should be out of here in a couple of hours. Once he receives a new liver (cross your fingers), this will be a procedure of the past.

After the procedure - doctor only had to perform one banding - wants him to return to take another look in 1 to 2 months. Doctor said he looks good!
