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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
