Endoscopy results

Good morning everyone. I had my endoscopy yesterday.  That was alot easier than I thought it would be.   Luckily, no polyps, no cancer or anything like that.  He did find scarring from an old ulcer that has since healed (who knew?) and inflammation due to gastritis.  I had gastritis years ago, and seems it never really went away.  I'll be on Prevacid for a bit, but what's another pill in my daily regimen. He took a biopsy of the inflammation.  He said it was probably just from the gastritis, but he wanted to make sure.  Better to be safe than sorry.  If all is good, I am cleared by him for surgery. All of this is getting me closer to surgery (and closer to my civil union)

Awesome! Another step closer to being a Loser! I think they have to take a biopsy to screen for H. Pylori infection. Keep us updated! hugs, Karen

WOOWOO!!!  Great news!  I had an endoscopy done about 6 years ago...talk about out of it!  Not sure what they shot me up with, but it felt pretty good!  LOL  They determined I have a Hiatle hernia, due to being overweight!

Did they knock you out completely when you had yours done?  They gave me the IV and said "Nite Nite".
