Did you have the blood test done first? That's my worse fear that they will find an ulcer that I never knew I had. I have no symptoms but tested positive. I dont want anything to prolong my surgery. Good for you it didn't.

I have not had any blood work done as of yet.

No, you don't feel anything. The anesthesia they use for it sort of puts you under but it also causes some kind of amnesia affect. I am not the best one to try and explain it.

You should not feel anything and you will not remember the procedure.

you take a great nap and don't remember a thing when you wake up...except, why the hell did they wake me up from one of the best naps ever! I've had three, you don't feel a thing!

There are multiple ways to test. A biopsy is the most accurate for a current infection as it looks for the actual organism. The blood is an antigen test. Testing for the response your body is currently or has in the past responded to the organism. There is also a breath test. Stool would look for the shedding of the bacteria but could have variables. The gold standard is the biopsy though.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
