I'm home and....

....Feeling much better! I can eat and drink without feeling sick at all. I had a narrowing, and a small stricture at the anastomosis side(sorry but I don't remember what the anastomosis side means~even though he told me what it was). The E.G.D. wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. All I remember about it is I was gagging, I thought I was going to throw up, and someone saying not to do that. The I.V. went in with very little pain. This is a first for me . They did have to use a needle that was intended for use on an infant ,the toddler one was to big. I have a bit of a sore throat, but feel pretty good. The Dr. said I may not ever have to have this done again~but mostly likely would have to do it again. Maybe as soon as 2 days or as long as a few week's. Whatever the case, It feels good to be able to eat and drink without being sick! Thank you all for your encouragement, and support when I was not sure what I should do. Love you guy's you're the bestest God bless you all, Annette

Praise the Lord!!! I am glad you are feeling better!! I will continue to pray that you WON'T have to go back for it!! Take care and keep us posted. Steph

Hi Annette, I am so glad everything went well and that you are able to eat and drink better. You have been in my prayers and I will pray that you don't have to have this done again ever. I love you! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Hi Annette! So glad to hear you are feeling better! FYI the anastomosis is the place where your new "connection" is. Technically...a surgical union of parts. I used to help with EGDs and such when I worked in the OR. I hope you don't have to go through it again, but it sounds like you've got a good doctor from everything I have been reading, and you are also in the hands of the Great Physician! Take care!

Hi Annette. I am so glad things went well and that you can now eat and drink. Boy, the things we used to take for granted! I too am praying for you. God bless you, dear sister in Christ. Peg
