Nervous

 Today I am going in for endoscopy. I have been having issues for a long time now but yesterday I had stabbing pains (where I think pouch is) for over 3 hours.......went to my regular doctor to whom I had already stated I saw my surgeon and they recommend I be scoped....he says ok I will call a GI doctor- I have Kaiser so I had already written him twice about this and he said he would call the GI doctor-He didnt call til I was laying there in pain......they called me and now I am going in this morning. I am really nervous although I have friends who say its not a big deal-which im sure its probably not . I think what makes me nervous the most is how I am being treated. My surgeon was awesome and I am pretty sure if I still had the other insurance I wouldnt be going through this. Trying to get back on track when you anemic, having issues with stomach pain and then going through an accident in the last four months, and a really bad break up from a boyfriend this past weekend seems as though I am floating out in space somewhere all alone in this battle........I know I am not alone, that I have friends and family who are supportive but its hard to go through.....thank you for letting me vent this struggle...........

I hope the Scope today will show the problem and they can fix it. I know when I had a problem and they did the scope they were able to fix it on the spot. Kaiser can be a pain when dealing with special situations.  I switched from them several years ago because of that but you have to use what you can get from your employer.

Ddi Kaiser give you a referal to be seen by their doctors who do this type of surgery?

You should work with that department ot get in as thier patient then you have a doctor who knows what is going on and can deal with the problems head on.

 

Sounds like you are dealing with a lot of issues.  I hope you will consider finding a good counselor to help you deal with your emotional response to all this. I have found it to be helpful.
