I am going tomorrow for a gallbladder ultrasound, a KUB xray, and an upper GI. I have, for the last 2 weeks, been hurting everytime I eat or drink anything. Never getting nauseated or throwing up, only a severe pain between the tip of my sternum, and my belly button. It lasts about an hour and a half, then goes away. I am also gonna be scoped on monday to check for a stricture. Thats what I am hoping for... I know it sounds weird to hope for a stricture, but that will involve the smallest amount of down time. They can stretch it back open while they are scoping me, and I will be fine to go back to work the next day. My GI doc just put me on Prilosec OTC... so I know it is ok.... Hope you get to feeling better soon, Hugs, Susan
