Good News

I just got home from having my endoscopy. The dr saw an ulcer on my esophagus, but everything else looks fine. I am so relieved, WHEW. As they say...not knowing is a biatch.

I have been prescribed something to aid in moving food out of my tummy quicker. This means there will be less in there to back up into my esophagus later. He also put me on Carafate to heal the ulcer and upped my Nexium to twice a day.

For the next week, I am back to mushies to help in the healing process, which also means nothing spicy.

I am so relieved and wanted to thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.

Great ! That explains the blood !

Down here they put everybody that went throught a VSG to take a medicine called Motilium for two months after surgery, you are supposed to take it 15 min before each meal.

I think you are on track now. Maybe you could ask your doctor if you should thake the PPI longer, until your reflux decrease.

I think I could have benefited from that drug you mentioned. Also, I agree with you, I think the I should stay with the PPI longer.

Thanks for your reply.

Maddie I am so thankful that you do not have to go back in for surgery and that it is something that is treatable with some meds. You have been through so much with your recovery you deserve a break. Continued thoughts and prayers.
