Guest The Pom Queen Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 To be honest I don't think the Barrets itself will stop you getting in, Do you have low or high grade dysplasia with it? You will probably need an up to date gastroscopy and a letter from your consultant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
