Endoscopy and weird diagnosis



Recommended Posts

I had an endoscopy today and was told I had gas pockets above my band which was causing all kinds of issues for me. I can't find anything online about this. Help!! I might know more about this if my doctor had told ME anything after the procedure. But no of course not, she only talked to my hubby and I love him very much but he really doesn't understand any medical stuff. He also said she didn't even give him time to ask questions and he only talked to her on the phone, she didn't even go out to talk to him after it was done!!

Anyway, anyone know anything about this??

Are you having symptoms?

Maybe she meant a hiatal hernia? Call the office in the AM and ask to speak to your doctor's nurse so you can know what is actually going on. Good luck!

I'm interested to hear what your symptoms are. I've never heard of that diagnosis before. What is the course of actions to fix the problem?

I have been throwing up almost everything I eat for a few months, even soft food. No heartburn, no acid reflux at all. I also have spurs on the vertebrae in my neck pushing against my esophagus. She gave me a script for Prilosec and was instructed to see her in 3 weeks. I've had lots of problems with this doctor (I've actually never met her yet....dealing with nurse practitioner). When the anaesthesiologist asked me questions he told me that I had acid reflux and I told him I didn't. He said this doctor had that down as what was wrong with me. I'm really confused.

I'd love to do that but I've had no luck getting the staff at this office to do anything! It took 3 weeks for them to even order my tests and then only because I went to the office and told them I needed it done asap because I couldn't eat anything without throwing up.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
