anyone have a scope done?

I am wondering if anyone has had this problem? I am having a hard time getting my food down, i swallow just fine but once it hits my chest i have pain then as it travels down i get pain in the abdomin. I have seen my pcp and my gastric bypass surgeon. In fact i spent 5 days in the hospital while my pcp ran every test known to man trying to figure it out, when all she could come up with was something with my gastric bypass she let me loose. Now i have to have a scope done, my surgeon thinks that the opening to my pouch has gotten smaller and there may be an obstruction or something below that. the scope is done out patient and takes about 5 minutes total after they have gotten you asleep. Has anyone done this or had this issue. Another thing suggested to me (not by a dr) is that after my gallbladder surgery maybe something got messed up. Any feedback on that? I did tell my surgeon about the gallbladder deal. I guess i will know more on Monday Thanks for listening Heidi

Heidi had my scope twice. Completly painless. The worst part about it was nothing by mouth after midnight. When you have it scheduled really late in the afternoon that stinks. You will be fine.

I had my done about 3 weeks after surgery. I could not swallow water. It was not fun. The drugs they have me prior to the procedure did not work and it was a horrible experience. It took about 30 minutes. Afterwards, I could swallow just fine. I had a bit a a sore throat for a few days. Hope I didn't scare you! Cecil 338/223
