Post-op upper GI this week - wish me luck

[notmyname 591]

Well, since I've been growing ever more nauseated for the last two months (month 3-4 after surgery - first two months after surgery were fairly smooth sailing), doc has scheduled an upper GI for this Thursday. If that doesn't show anything, it is on to an endoscopy. I am NOT looking forward to drinking the contrast (I mean, really, that is just going to anger the nausea), but I'm hoping that they can find why I'm now nauseated 90% of my day and able to eat less each week (I'm now basically back to eating about how much I ate when I first got on soft foods). I did this major surgery so that I'd feel better. I really don't give a rat's behind how I look. And at this point, I feel WAY worse than before surgery and am actually taking more meds. So, here's hoping they can find something and fix it.

I hope you get some answers. Keep us updated.

Yes, hope it's something they can put right - and quickly!

I hope they're able to figure out what's wrong quickly! Nausea is just awful, especially since it's gotten so bad for you when you were doing well the first couple months.

Thanks all. Radiologist said I have a hernia. Again. I'm stuck in jury duty all day without a phone. So I've been playing phone tag with my doctor's nurse. And, given our schedules, this may be an issues until my jury duty ends - in 3 more weeks. Ugh. I am so tired of feeling like crap.
