Here comes endoscopy Number 2!!
Hi - I am calling my dietician and doctor today - I am so bummed out as I think I need another endoscopy!! Has this happened to you? After the first one, I could eat almost everything but I am back to throwing up again unless I stick to yogurt, cheese sticks, eggs or cereal bars! Am heading for hip surgery May 20 so I need to be healthy - I hate to go through the procedure again - more $ and no insurance! Am I alone here???
Peg, I have been vomiting since my 3rd week if I eat anything other than yogurt, cottage cheese or some fruit. I had a hiatal hernia repair during my surgery and that was the 2nd repair since last August (prior to surgery). I finally called the dr.'s office on Friday and am awaiting a call back. I did speak to my PCP in my home area and he ordered me more Zofran and I'm going for tons of blood work on Friday. I think another endoscope is in my near future as well. I always have had problems with food prior and my hiatal hernia restricted what I was able to eat. For nearly 2 years I was only able to get down protein drinks and seems like that is the only thing I can count on these days as well.
thanks for your responses - I called my doctor and spoke to nurse. She said this is common for 9 weeks - meat may always be hard for me. I told her what I was able to eat and she said I was doing fine and to just relax and eat what I know I can eat. Be sure to do protein drinks and vitamins etc. Was reasurring to hear. Thanks again
