Patient Reviews
Sep 06, 2021
Very skilled surgeon & doctor. Had a bad case of oral & esophageal thrush (still don't know if that caused it but that's the theory) that got out of hand. Couldn't eat solid food from July 25th - August 25th, not even pureed food, only ensure drinks. My body would have strange reactions for a little bit if I ate/drank anything other than ensure & water. Weighed 98 pounds (lost 6 pounds in a month) & living on 900 calories/day from ensure. Dr. Lyche took me seriously, brought me in for an endoscopy. In 24 hours I wasn't eating solid food, however, by August 30th, several weeks after the esophageal dilation, I was eating regularly again, not even pureed foods. I am back to a completely normal diet now & gaining weight. If it wasn't for getting in as quickly as I did, I would have been drinking boost drinks for another 3 months and probably lose more weight. Thank you Dr. Lyche!! My only advice is to make sure to asked to be prescribed acid reducers!!
