endoscopic sclerotherapy???

    Hi... i saw my doctor last week  for a check up i havent had in over a year or so... since i had my baby recently 12 weeks ago i wanted to get back on track... lucky for me i lost the 24 pounds i gained with this pregnancy and went in to see him weighing the same as i did last time i saw him.. ive leveled out... and i think most of it was i was in size 22 and now down to a 13 and thought it was heaven.. when its really not for ME.... i want to be smaller i still look in the mirror or in photos of myself and feel fat.... im still 195...   but when i went into the office last week he asked me how ive eaten.. i was honest and told him i havent followed the plan like i should of.... he then said he wanted me to have a upper GI... to see how the food passes etc.. he said he could go down my mouth and tighten it up alittle... so ive looked into how he would and its a endoscopic sclerotheapy... has anyone had this and how did it turn out?


i go back to see him tomorrow with my upper GI results...

Hi Beth!  I haven't had the procedure so I can't really answer your question but wanted to wish you the best.  It is great that you are deteremined to get back on track & taking the necessary steps to get it done.

well.. i saw my doctor today... he looked at my upper GI that he ordered. and he says everything looks fine.. i dont need anything done to my stomach  it looks like its working just fine.. he did say a option would be to go down my throat and tighten the hole by scarring it..  but he wants me to diet and excerise first... and see the nut. first to see if she can put me on a liquid diet of some kind...   i have to say.... i was bummed all day.. i even cried today.. i wanted to go in and have him tell me Yes we will do the scarring and make the hole smaller.... i have such a hard time not eating.. i love food to much thats how i got here... and i cant just turn that off...   i beat myself up constantly  especially when im on this board and i see how many people have lost 100 pounds in a year or so... its one reason why i stopped coming here.. cuz i wasnt losing the weight like that.. and i pretty much gave up.. i got into a size 13  and i felt good... but now i look at myself and see the old beth.. the one before i had my surgery....

soooooooooo i need to get back on track.... i made a committment to work out 4 or 5 days a week.. and eat 3 small meals and 2 snacks ... fruit or some kind ... as soon as i see weight coming off it will be easier to continue this.. its just getting started thats the hard part....

im so frustrated... if anyone can tell me they were or are in my shoes it would help... i need to start going to support group meetings.. jackie is having one next wedesday ill be all over that one hehe...  i cant beleive ive had gastic bypass and ive completely came off my wagon.. : ((
