I was just told today by my doc that I should have an endoscopy since I went for a check up after having a fill 2 weeks ago and being filled to 3 cc's. I told him I don't really feel any different since the last fill and I told him I was able to eat a whole tomato sandwich in about 15 min. He said I shouldn't be able to do that. He said it would be as a precaution just to make sure there was no erosion and that if everything was OK, then I would get another fill. Naturally I'm going crazy, especally after what Donali went through. Can anyone tell me what sort of prep I will need to do for this test. The doc said it only takes about 15 min. Thanks

Hi Chris -

I did not have my fill removed.

I do not recall having any dietary requirements before or after the procedure. I think I didn't eat that day just to make sure there was no junk in my stomach when they did it, but I don't recall being told to not eat.

Good luck!

Everything is fine...there is no erosion. I do have a bit of gastritis and he did a biopsy and mentioned I should take Zantac 75 or Pepcid complete. I saw Dr. Geiss, my surgeon, and he said if I wanted to I could make another appointment for a bit of a fill but I said I would wait because I did start to lose weight again. Thanks for all your good wishes.

Glad to hear it wasn't horrible news after all. Best wishes to you, Teresa
