Results of ultrasound and endoscopy

My doc was concerned about my picky pouch,  my inability to tolerate most foods, and the related quick weight loss, so he had an abdominal ultrasound done, and also an endoscopy to rule out a stricture or ulcer.  The short answer is that there is no ulcer, no stricture, and no gallstones.  Just a picky pouch.  I'm glad my doc did check everything out.

Good to have verification. You'll just have to take it slow and be careful. That may be a good thing long term.

Glad you know now but sorry you have a picky pouch.  Did you have a sensative tummy before?  I have always credited my cast iron pouch to my previous cast iron tummy.

That's the wierd thing.  I used to have a cast iron stomach - I had bad reflux, but never felt a thing.  I could eat spicy, acidic foods, or cheese & milk, and was fine.   I'm hoping it will improve like Rebecca mentions below.

 It took 5 months for my pouch to move out of non-picky status, hopefully it will end for you soon!

5 months would be great - I'm going to New Zealand for 3 weeks at about the 5 month time.

Glad to hear you got a clean bill of health.

Sorry you still have a picky pouch. Hopefully, things will settle down.

I'm glad your doctor checked everything out and you didn't have any problems.  Hope your picky pouch gets better soon.

Thanks for the note.  I am looking forward to more normal bariatric eating in the future.
