I have been diagnosed after endoscopy last week with "short segment Barret's Esophagus.  I do not have a doctors appointment until September 6th and this is about the only thing that I can remember from what the doctor told me after the procedure due to the medication.  Does anyone know the short segment means?  Does it get treated differently?  Thank you.
