I had my 2nd upper endoscopy since my VSG surgery 9-15-2009, yesterday and over-all "FINDINGS" for Oropharynx, Esophagus, EG-Junction, Cardia, Fundus, body, all "Normal". The report continues : Antrum "Mild gastritis Biopsy taken "Duodenum Bulb- Normal 2nd portion- Normal 3rd portion-Biopsy taken.

 

I suppose I will hear from the doctor or one of his personal sometime next week for further findings...

 

Although I was groggy when the doctor spoke with me after I awoke,while still on the table, he told me everything looked good, or fine...He also told me I did NOT need to take any PPI, and could just end taking the Protonix, (generic form)...no need to wean off.

 

My next move will be to meet with yet ANOTHER ENT, since the last one I saw diagnosed me, (according to this reputable gastroenterologist), incorrectly. Meaning my throat, nasal, problem, (feeling as if I've a glob or web of sorts just hanging, and/or with pools of mucus or saliva).. is not symptomatic of any sort of acid reflux, LPR,(silent), as was my diagnosis, or GERD. This doctor feels the problem is literally in my head, and needs to be closely scrutinized by an ENT. He has referred me to one and will send THAT doctor a full report of his findings and speculation. In the meanwhile I'm still very uncomfortable with this throat irritation, (yes my throat does get irritated, from constant 24/7 secretions...and naturally, I've anxiety over this yet undiagnosed, unresolved condition.

Hi Lis, I am glad to read an update.

Do you have an ENT that you trust and can spend the time with you to get to an answer? The endo results sound promising, but I can imagine it is so very frustrating to not get any real answers when there are obviously issues unresolved. Thanks for the update and I will continue to pray for healing and answers for you. Stacie

I know this was a long time ago, but I am curious how this has turned out. I am sure you cut out milk (causes mucus). "normal'" is fine, but did maybe when they did you hernia repair, repair at a weird angle letting mucus back up or something like that, cause it doesn't sound it was this bad before. Of course your down, don't hide from the forum though, I would be too! Is there any kind of barbaric complication specialist you can see, even if you have to get on a plane.
