I need some advice...

I had my Endoscopy on Friday. For quite some time I've been experiencing nausea and occasional dry heavie'ness.

My G.I. tract tends to be a bit sensitive and a bout bronchitis back in November and the subsequent round of antibiotics seem to have set it off, and I have been having ulcer like symptoms.

Before I left my doctors office, I was given the report his findings: my esophagus looked fine (yay!); however, I have a erosive gastritis, of which he took several biopsies; he removed a polyp, which will also be biopsied; and finally, he took a biopsy specific to check for celiac.

My concern is the erosive gastritis. I'm hoping that it will not prevent me from having surgery.

Has anyone else had experience with this?

Thanks for your input!

Sooo, to answer my own question: from the research I've done and input from others who have already gone down this road, I shouldn't have any problem getting the surgery... we shall see what the surgeon says about it. Nerves!

I just had a bunch of Polyps removed (2nd Endo) and was told I had extreme amounts of stomach bile. My GI says I will be fine to move forward with VSG as planned & just to make sure I take my Prilosec & Sucralfate as prescribed.

Your MDs will likely place you on PPI (like Prilosec) for a while. Unless the bipopsy discovers something untoward, likely WLS will go forward.

I now have an Rx for Omeprazole (Prilosec), hope it starts working soon! Thanks for the input! Hope you're right!!

My surgeon had me on 1 a day omeprazol when I left the hospital. It wasn't enough for me so he upped the dosage. Just an FYI if your dr has to up dosage it's cheaper as a prescription to take a higher dosage once a day than to take the same dosage twice a day. I'm tons better now but can tell pretty quickly if I forget to take it.

Hello , I have the same problem u were having and the Dr said I have to go for a mini bypass but I Rly want a sleeve ,can u tell me what happened with u? Did u do ur surgery or not ?
