HAD my UPPER ENDOSCOPY in the am

and it was confirmed my vomitting was blood yesterday. I do have an ulcer. Good news is its healing and only 1 small....so im on 8 weeks of nexium and should be fine. THANKS for all the kind words I am thankful for a great surgeon that responds quickly! lisa

Lisa, I had a feeling that you had an ulcer but I didn't want to say anything until confirmed by your doc. Good thing you caught it while it was small and treatable. Take care and rest! Lots of hugs coming your way!!! {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} Lucy

Lisa, Thank goodness it's a small one. I really worried about you all night last night and wondered how you were doing this morning. Yes, that's an awsome surgeon to get you in that fast! I hear Nexium works very very well. Glad he prescribed that to you over the Prevacid - you got the best meds for it. Take care my friend. ((((hugs)))) Pam

Lisa I'm so glad that you are already on the mend. However, i will continue to pray for you. Hugs Sharyn

Oh yes you did not have to be in the dark that long and worry even longer. I am sorry to hear this has happened but happy to hear the prognosis looks good. Look at it this way... maybe it is a forced diet opportunity to help with a lull? Will probably help you to ensure you are protecting your pouch even more than normal. Good Luck

Lisa, I am so glad that you are ok. I was worried about you. Take it easy until you feel better. Hopefully you will be fully healed soon. I will be thinking of you. I am having my rebirthday party tonight. I wish all of my fellow junebugs could be here with me. Love LYnn

Awww thanks guys for all the love and support here! I will admit i proly had this ulcer for some time. I always seemed to have a problem when my pouch was empty i had an annoying feeling in it...feeding it always made if better...for that i always ate...mini meals and never had the discomfort. IM thinking this was the early signs of an ulcer. ITS seems clear to me now...a not to bad stomach virus is around as last night my son felt like he needed to vomit all day when i got home rom the scope he didnt look right to me finally at night he said that...so i am thinking that that vomitting caused the ULCER to bleed thus needed to be scoped SO honestly im thankful this was found now. AND maybe i can eat less now and loose the next 10 pounds i so badly want off! THANKS everyone for the support your all the best and i was pretty scared i knew the dark color was BLOOD in the vomit....but being it stopped made it a scheduled scope not an ER trip. AND of course the only one i wanted going down my throat was my surgeon. LISA

Boy Lisa!! I am glad you are gonna be ok!! I go away for 10 days and my junies all fall apart on me!!!! Between you and Lucy I am gonna be praying overtime this week!! Lots of love for you too, and let us know what is going on at the nerve doc too!! Wendy

Hi Lisa~ I posted on your other thread before reading this one. So glad that your doc was able to diagnose the problem quickly. I hope that you're feeling much better now after taking the Nexium. Are things better now? Hugs, Kerri

Hi Kerri i am feeling better thank you. I am not vomitting alarming colors now. AND i will say that when my pouch is empty I dont have the uncomfortable feeling that I had for a long time...SO i can actually eat less which is a plus! THANKS everyone for all the care! LOVE my june family.
