I was recently approved for surgery on April 2, 2013. I completed me pre-op testing which included an upper GI. The upper GI revealed transient pylorospasm. To sum this up it means that your stomach cannot empty as designed, due to a thickened valve. This causes abdominal pain and vomiting.

I'm freaking out because I was amped to have my surgery on April 2 but instead I will be getting scoped! I pray that this pylorospasm is mild and surgery will occur ASAP.

****Thanks in advance for your support.

i am having my egd tomorrow... and i am nervous... did you have any symptoms of this????

Yes the symptoms of indigestion but the upper GI revealed that I don't have indigestion, a stricture or a hiatal hernia . It was the spasms that was causing my reactions to food. When I eat, I get a frog in my throat and I have to cough. I would get sick in the stomach hours after eating, to the point that ginger ale was my best friend. I spoke with a nurse who has said that the sleeve will actually help my issues with spasms. I will see my doctor on Monday, so I will keep you posted.

Are you asking because you worry about the process itself or the outcome?

I'm worried about the outcome!!!!!!!!! I've gone through so much to have this procedure and I would be gravely disappointed if I couldn't proceed with the surgery!!!!!!????????????
