UP DATE ON ME!!! ME!!! ME!!!!

  Well there is a band in there..lol. I saw it from every direction!! wow.. that stuff is neat....
   It looks to, my UNTRAINED eye, like I have no restriction..lol I have no "pouch?" look just straight up and down esophugus.. I didn't get to talk to Holly and ask her about it BUT the radiologist said it looked perfect???
  Nancy at Dr.Shina's office said that the scope has been put off to a later date.. next comes the gall bladder ultra sound and Hippa or hippo testing?? they will do them both on friday the 28th!!!
  I really have felt great the last week, I have changed what I eat and that helped alot.. no more nuts and cashews, they were tearing me apart... Bacon makes me sick and ughhh!! Sausage gives me a lil discomfort but not much...
   No more gas X strips... nothing.. If I do wait too long to eat I can take a gas x and it burps out... so Im happy....
   SO THERE YA GO.. ALL ABOUT ME!!!
Missy, I hope your doing ok.... post soon ok...

Looking forward to seeing you Thursday

HMMM...my money is still on the GB being your problem.  High fat and greasy foods will set it off so if you eliminated nuts, chocolate and some of the meats.....

The test you refered to is a HIDA scan.  It's a nuclear medicine test.  That's the one I told you about where when they inject whatever it is they use into your IV and it hits your GB you get VERY nauseous if you really do have GB issues.

Go to webMD.com to read about it.

Great news on the UGI.  Hopefully this will show nothing as well and it's simply a diet change issue. 

Hey!!   look up diverticulitis while you are at it.  I seem to remember something about nuts setting that off too.

Hmmmmmmmmmm now that you say nuts and bacon and etc tear you up I wonder if you may have diverticulitis.   I have it and I can not eat nuts or really greasy food or anything with seeds in it like strawberries, etc 

But glad that you band is fine.  When you text me I had just left Norton Pavillion seeing Casey so now I hope I can get myself together and back on track with the right amount of nutrition the right way  lol

   nope no divert whatever that words is.. I dont have those symptoms at all...
   mine is sharp pain across my back at certain foods.. wraps around to the sides.. SOMETIMES, a sharp pain on the right side under my breat bone.. not on my port area... I was jjust glad that my band- aide is there and healthy looking.. the girl thought I was crazy, I said oh look my band- aide is pretty!!! lol.. poor young girl thought I was nuts!! bwaaahahaaaa.. Ask LeeAnn I called her from the hospital corridor dancing and singing!!

  Hippo testing?!  lol  On a more serious note- glad you're doing better and finding out what triggers those problems.  Hope you get the answers you're looking for later this month.  Have a great rest of week!!!

When I had my GB problems, nuts would send me up a wall, especially peanuts. So I'd say it could be either.

Laura

 Im leaning toward gall bladder!! big time...
I am just glad that I feel better!!! omgosh!!!
Now If I could explain why I feel restriction when I really dont have  it?? Some days I feel wideeeeeee open, some days I dont....
mental block?
dawn

Hope they find out for sure what the problem is.
Glad you are feeling better.
