I have been told in the past I am hard to intibate because of the scar tissue in my windpipe. Is this going to make it that I can't have ECT? I plan on calling the hospital that would be doing it on Monday and see what they say but thought I'd get you guys input also. I asked my doc's nurse what she thought as my doc used to do ECT and she said he had a patient like that and he was still able to do it. I am just trying to cover all bases because I don't want to get to Little Rock and then have them say well sorry we cant do it.

i think they can accomodate that by using a smaller tube, but you're doing good by asking them. it's always good to let them know ahead of time, so they can get a solution in place for that problem. i figure, since there's always someone with a similar problem as yours, that most have an experience with it and know what to do.

i never had ect treatments, but i just had a vns therapy pulse generator implanted last wednesday. it will be turned on on the 12th.

I called the clinic that would be doing my ECT and they told me they couldn't do my ECT until I get below 262. So now its the weight thing again. It frustrates me to no end that everything I do comes down to I'm to fat to do anything.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
