So I had my EGD this morning and the procedure itself was A breeze. No issues other than a little bit of drowsiness after. My doctor quickly went over the results with my sister and I'm a little concerned. Apparently I have a small hiatal hernia, ulcers that are in the healing stage and moderate to severe gastritis. Yikes! Anyone else have things come up they were unaware of where the EGD?

Yes, I have a 3cm hiatal hernia & chronic gastritis. They tried to give me Prilosec...but, I refused due to its severe side effect of complete kidney failure....I went to a natural supplement for healing. Although, this was not a major concern..I have been approved for surgery. Doc says gastritis needs healing before surgery so, I'm working on it...Hopefully, they will repair the hernia during surgery...Waiting for my date...I have read a lot of post regarding hernia & gastritis...it's quite common amongst overweight people..Who knew?? ;-/

I had my EGD in November and found that I had Barrett's esophagus (cell changes that can change into cancer, this is caused by acid erosion) and I never had what I thought was severe GERD. Just occasional heartburn. This diagnosis makes me not a candidate for the sleeve. I was really shocked and more than a little upset because I had decided on the sleeve, not the RNY.

Since then, I have come to terms with it and am grateful that I started on this path, I likely wouldn't have been diagnosed at all and who knows where that could have led. I feel good about the choice if RNY now because it will hopefully make my GERD a non issue and allow my lower esophagus to heal. I plan on having surgery in July even though I would qualify for April, I have a ton of stuff going on in the spring and can't take the chance of not feeling well.

Yes. I found out I have a hiatal hernia and they had to remove three polyps. Thankful none were cancerous. When I have my bypass surgery on 1/26 they will see if the hernia needs to be repaired and will do it if necessary.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
