Well today is the day I go back and get my results.. Say a prayer please that all is ok.

You got it Sweetie and a big ol hug. Good Luck !!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Just got back..

Good and Bad News:(

I have the pre Start to Barrett's Esophagus which hopefully will heal with the Nexium for the next year. I get another Scope in Dec if I do not develope problems or it will be sooner.

Good News.. Well it's curable / treatable to a point (digging deep here)

I will get a scope yearly and to me thats good so we can watch it..

My band is still fine but need to talk to the Doc about getting somekind of fill at least one that will not bring on the reflux. But that is not untill sometime in Jan, Need sometime to heal.

For those that wonder what brings it on?

He says long term Gerd. Acid in your Esophagus

I have basically lived on tums, Rolaids Etc for the last 5 to 10 yrs maybe longer. The reflux got worse this last year..

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes.

Wait for the Colnoscopy that should be a charmer:)

Barretts is caused by long term reflux - it can be treated - just take meds and you'll be fine!!!

Thank you Laura.. I had been reading up on it since I saw the results in my Groggy state of mind in recovery and was hoping it was not it.. But oh well I can only do the best to keep it at bay and hopefully it will heal.

Fingers crossed that you heal up and have no further progress in your symptoms!! Good news about your band, though. :eek: And I guess you had reflux prior to banding, right? So this diagnosis is not really related to your being banded?

Anyway, I'm glad it's caught and is treatable. Take care of yourself!

Sending prayers your way!!!!

I'm so glad your band is good and that you can be treated.... WONDERFUL !!!!!!

HUGS

Glad to hear that you will be ok. Many well wishes headed your way - And hugs too!

Glad to hear your doing fine.

Yes Alex I had reflux before the band.

This past year it seemed to get worse But your correct it is NOT band related.

Don't want others Bandsters to get worried..

Again Thank you all

I am so happy that your band is ok. Now, take those meds and heal up! Good news Mary!

Hey Mary!

So glad to hear that there is nothing un-fixable. Take your meds and we will all think good thoughts for quick healing.

Hugs!
