They found a large hernia and that I have Barrett's Esophagus. Barrett's is when you have acid reflux so bad that your stomach cells replace your esophagus cells so that your esophagus doesn't burn from the acid. That is why I had no heartburn (except for years ago). The bad thing is that people with Barrett's have a higher risk of esophagus or stomach cancer (however it's a very low. %).

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have Hashimoto too. I've never heard anything about not eating gluten. Go for my endoscopy soon' date=' hard to tell what they will find![/quote']

Well, the primary care physician said that people with ANY auto-immune disease seem to respond favorably when gluten, dairy and sugar are eliminated from their diets. That being said, she did not think I should try to give up all three at once and now having had surgery, I am not sure how I could avoid dairy. But, I stopped eating bread and Pasta over the summer (2012) and when I tried some bread in the autumn, it made me sick like having your period (crampy, diarrhea). While Celiac disease is different in cause, my understanding is that gluten destroys something in the lining of the stomach, so I guess I wondered if that is what gluten was doing to me, too.

It is the size of a golf ball. I am so afraid that it's going to be something terrible. I am a single mother to a 4 year old. My ex is an abusive dead beat. I can't get sick and let the courts give him my son :-(

I will pray for you, but hopefully the mass is isolated and in a part of the stomach that is going to be removed.

How are you doing? When there is no news, it sometimes worries me more. Hope you are okay.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
