EGD Post Surgery?
I just got back from a wonderful vacation on Sunday. My stomach has been hurting since then and I've been nauseated. I took miralax thinking I might be constipated witht he change in altitude. Bowels are moving fine. I don't eat because it hurts my stomach. I pretty much lay around as it hurts my stomach to sit or stand and do things. Last week I was hiking 6 mile hikes so this is abnormal. I did call my doctors office and they want to do an EGD to see what is going on. I haven't heard from the GI's office yet, but I'm wondering what they could be looking for? Just wanting to hear from anyone else who has had this happen after surgery. Thanks!
edg is another name for endoscopy. I've had to have many endoscopies to check my esophogus (which has problems) They want to see what the problem is. I haven't had this problem but have read many posts where they have had pain. I know one of the problems could be blockage of the opening from pouch to intestines. In your case because it hurts to eat that could be a problem.
Please keep us posted and get the Dr to see you immediately

I had an edoscopy and it was not bad at all.. barely aware that anything was happening at all.. they kinda sedate you, but just a bit..
Please let us know what they find and how you are.

Lost 114 lbs. working on getting rid of a recent 10 lb regain...and WILL succeed!
They think it could very likely be a stricture, but can't get me in until a week from Friday! I have gone back to full liquids and I'm miserable. I have a conference next week from Monday thru Thursday and I'll be staying at a hotel in Dallas. I am at 6 weeks on Monday and was looking forward to a fresh slice of tomato with pepper and salt, but now I'll have to wait. Oh well, it could be worse - I could still be in my stall!
Take care during this week of waiting Daisy. Liquids will work for the time being. Enjoy your conference and report back on the rusults of your scoping. Hugs
