Endoscopy findings...

Well I had my endoscopy yesterday and I have Gastritis (inflamed stomach lining) and a hiatal hernia, (that I never knew I had) they took a biopsy of my stomach and now I have stinging and pain in my upper belly.... They said that I have to ok for Surgery but this inflammation thing kinda erks me out. I have been taking NSAIDs for many years.... Anyone else?

I've just had my Endoscopy done today and also don't remember anything. Best sleep I've had in a while lol. They did however tell me that I had a little irritation in my stomach(gastritis) and took a sample. I am worried that this is going to prevent me from having the surgery on the 17th. Has anyone had their procedure delayed due to this?

Well I got the results today from my biopsy that was taken during the endoscopy and all is well! I'm clear!! Thank god!! He said I have mild gastritis and it's nothing to worry about. :)

Thank you soo much, makes me feel a whole lot better!

Thanks for putting me at ease.....I hope my results are good!!

I had my EDG done on Friday and the only concern the Dr had was some redness on my stomach believed to be from IB PROUFEN/ MOTRIN use

I had my EGD yesterday and it was a breeze...I don't remember a thing and don't have any pain at all! Thanks for everyone's input on this because I didn't feel nervous at all going into it. Next step-surgery!!

Well in NY we were hit pretty hard with some snow and I had to cancel my Endoscopy. I'm devastated. I can't stop crying. I just want to finish all these stupid hoops they make you jump through and get a date already. I'm so upset I just want to stuff my face w food but I've been so good the last month that I don't think I'll forgive myself if I do. Need a bit of support right now and not finding it anywhere. My mom takes this as a sign from God not to do the surgery. And my

husband is not supportive either and just wants to make sure this entire process doesn't effect him in any way. I can get it done as long as it doesn't interfere with our routines. I'm so deflated right now...

Well that sucks that your mom and hubby are being poopy. It's not a sign not to have it. That's just the way Mother Nature is. It has nothing to do with you. How many more preop tests do you have?

They actually called me and told me to come in. Just got back now. It was so easy! And it really lifted my spirits. Only bad thing is I drove myself.

So all I have left is the pulmonary evaluation test and a chest X-ray. Also need to get my CPAP machine installed. Otherwise my appointment on March 12 with my surgeon. I guess I'll get my date then.

Good lord you drove yourself!! My office would not even check me in unless Someone was there with me. I'm glad you made it home ok an everything went well.

The only thing I have left is my EKG and that is in 2 weeks. We just might be having surgery the same time!

So have you had your appointment yet? Would be nice to go through this with someone else. Maybe we will have it together. Join the March sleevers. Or maybe April. I don't know how fast things go once all tests are done. My insurance approved it the same day with no requirements. So we'll see!!
