Just got back from being at the hospital for HOURS for numerous tests. Got a EGD which showed a hiatal hernia. I never even suspected this. Dr said plan was to repair during lapband surgery. Is this going to be more painful? Prolong my recover?
Also got an ultrasound - everything was normal. Then went for hidascan (??) of my gallbladder. The tech said a normal score is above 35 and mine was "a little low". I asked what this meant and he said I had to discuss w/ dr.
Did a barium swallow as well which was just freaking awful.
I am freaking out about the hidascan results. The ultrasound was normal - no gallstones or anything. The tech kept asking if I was having pain, etc, no no no I am fine. I feel perfectly fine.
Anyone else have irregular hidascan results and go onto have successful banding?
