repost: update on me-dehydration and burning pouch

Well gang, I got my IV fluids and an esophagogastroscopy today. It appears that I have two areas, one at the bottom of my esophagus and one in my pouch itself, that are severely inflamed and are on the way to developing into ulcers. My surgeon put me on Carafate four times a day to go along with the 40 mg of Nexium a day and Reglan 10 mg four times a day. I am just really glad that there's no blockage or stricture there and I really hope and pray that this fixes my problem. Thanks to everyone again for all the prayers and support. This is a great group of people *****ally care about everyone here. Rachel P.S. I made the half-century club as of today, down 50 lbs to 252

I'm so glad you found out what the problem is !! And congratulations on the 50 pounds !!

Thank you, I'm glad,too.

Rachel, Congratulations on finding the problem. Here's praying for a quick fix and recovering. Dx
