EGD with Biopsy today ANS FUNNY THINGS U SAY Under sedation!



Recommended Posts

So let see how this GOES as they told me not to post on social media under

Sedation! I had my EGD and they took a biopsy. I do have a hiatus hernia and they found inflammation in the gastric Antrum. They said this could HAVE A bacteria and thus the biopsy. Won't hear back for 5-10 days. Ever since I have had my gull bladder out a few years ago I get serious stomach pain like my organs are in a vise! I wonder if this could be the cause of this pain. Either way I will talk to the surgeon and then we will pick sleeve or bypass and he will correct the hernia during surgery!

OK NOW FOR THE FUNNY PART! I had an IV and told them I had a high gag reflex so what ever they could give me to put me out would be great! So the Dr looked at me and said with a question in her voice, so you are going to be 50??? She said your skin is beautiful and you don't look 50 at all what do you use. I explained I worked with a biotech company and we have a SkinCare product Nerium and a new Body contouring cream Nerium firm. She asked me what was in it and where she could get it. MY MIND WENT COMPLETELY BLANK!!! I remember asking her if she saw the movie Baby mamma with Tina Faye. I started quoting scenes from the movie where her seragate was getting the implantation and they had her hooked to an IV. She grabbed the IV and said, what's the street name for this I have to get more! Anyway.... I remember gagging as they put the scope in, Tina Faye and then I woke up!

After sedation at the dentist's office, I told him I loved him. I also said "wwwhhheeee" as we drove home and went around every corner.

There is a hilarious video of a teen who had his wisdom teeth out and the after effects of the drugs. So so funny. If you can find it on you tube you will crack up.

My son had his wisdom teeth out and when he woke up he kept telling the nurse she was lying to him. He almost started arguing with her. She was laughing.

When I was a kid I swore at the dentist that removed a tooth-words my mother didn't know I knew and at the last edg and dilation I had for a stricture I asked strangers in the elevator if they were there for the party, and they said yes, if I wanted them to be, and I told them yes they were lucky because I was there and I was the life of the party. Not my normal self and my daughter said it was embarrassing. Oh well.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
