Diagnosed With Barrett S Esophagus. Will Radio Frequency Ablation Help?

thank you- Ihave been diagnosed with Barrett s esophagus . I have read a lot about Radio frequency ablation And I would like to get this done . I do not have dysplasia according to the pathology report at this time based on A pathology report. I am very nervous about waiting another two years before I can get another endoscopic Procedure done. I could advance to cancer by then. I have read where a lot of people with no dyspasia have been treated and with good results in eliminating Barrett s. my insurance won t pay for RFA unless you have dysplasia. What if I Pay for it myself ? is there any way I can get this RFA Procedure done? Where can I get this procedure?
