endoscopy?

Thanks, Jan!  I was thinking about it tonight as I was driving home, and I think my main problem is that I just feel All Doctored Out at this point.  I am hoping that soon I can just go back to my normal life and not have so many doctor appointments with doctors poking me every which way!

Hi Lesley,
I have been scoped twice since my RNY.  Once was when I was about 7 months out, and then again this year.  You will be fine, and the doc will be able to give you a definitive explanation for your pain.  Not to worry. 

Hugs,
Trish

You are NOT a big baby!!  You are perfectly normal and have INCREDIBLE courage going through with our surgery!!  It is perfectly normal to be incredibly nervous especially when we're talking about health issues.

Good luck, party girl, in the early AM.  You let the doctors know you are nervous and, obviously, that you are just "fresh" from RNY GBP surgery.

Looking forward to seeing you this Wednesday!

Checking in late but you are Not a baby ....You are a mean girl! We are allowed to vent and do whatever we need to do !


I am thinking of you that all goes well today.

Love ya!

Lesley,
Will be thinking of you today.  I know you will be fine.
Let us know what they say.

Lesley,

I was just thinking about you over the weekend wondering how you were and where you had been since I hadn't seen you post in a bit.

I will be at Barix today for my 3 month follow up at 11am and will track you down and see how you are doing.

Hi everyone!!!

I just got home from having my endoscopy done.  It was not bad at all.  The last thing I remember is them putting something in my mouth that hooked around my head (and me being the perv that I am, I actually said "hey, this is like a ball gag!"  I wish I were kidding about having said that!) and the next thing I knew I was awake again and asking what time it was.

The gastro doc seems to think that it's damage from old GERD and that I also have bile coming up from my duodenum and some gastritis.  Nice!  So I will continue the prilosec and also I have to add in another script.  I'm kinda spacey from the sedation, so I am going to take a nap now and then just relax and take it easy the rest of the day.

Thanks again for your support! 

Lesley
