completed my upper endoscopy

what a shocker. I had my upper endoscopy yesterday. wasn't bad at all and my blood pressure was good throughout the entire procedure even though i was nervous. i found out that i have gastritis (which my dad had); reflux esophagitis (both my children as babies had reflux) and something called gastric mucosal abnormality characterized by erythema (whatever that is)lol. I have to take a med called Aciphex now and i hope i can still have the surgery or that this doesn't delay the surgery. the doctor took four biopsies so i will know more in a few weeks when i have my follow up with him. thank goodness we get this opportunity to have our health checked out before the surgery. i wouldn't have known that i have these problems. i get heartburn some times but nothing more than that so i would guess that i have mild cases of these ailments. This is my last test and i hope in two weeks i get clearance from the doctor and i can be on way to my December 1st date of surgery. anyone had these problems? did it delay the surgery? anyone on Aciphex? Thank you for your support

Good Luck Roe.....I think you will be fine....you will probably not have to worry about that after surgery. I have the same problem.....don't sweat it! :)

i look forward to someday not having to go to a doctor's office and have everything blamed on the fact that i am overweight. that is what my goal is for this surgery, not to fit into skinny jeans (even though that would be nice also). so many health issued that came along over the years that were blamed on weight. ughhh. well thank you so much arnetta for your response. <BR>
