Had my EGD Sat and they found something...



Recommended Posts

They didn't tell me what. Just said that there was something that they sent off to be biopsied. I take Vicoprofen for my neck and back pain and maybe (after doing some research online about this whole thing) that's what caused there to be something going on? He told me I can't take it anymore and I have to take Lortab which is the same thing but with Tylenol instead of Ibuprofen.

I never have tummy issues... or didn't before this biopsy. Now my stomach is BURNING bigtime. I am on Protonix now because of it.

Should I be worried? Or is this pretty common stuff???

Are you sure that they did a biopsy because they "found something" or was it just a routine biopsy? My doctor also did a biopsy but it was just a general biopsy of the esophagus.... he does that on all his patients. The nurses told me in the recovery room that they "did a biopsy" and I worried about it also only to find that it was totally routine.

Just based on the EGDs that I've witnessed, most of the time a biopsy is taken routinely. Since the doc is down there anyway, may as well do it.

SwanGirl, I had an EGD last week. My doctor also took a biopsy. They called me back yesterday and said that everything was fine. I hope yours was just a routine procedure for your doctor.

Yes I know it was because they found something because he explained before the procedure that they wouldn't do a biopsy unless he saw something that he wanted to check into further. Praying it's just something minor and no biggy. Surely that's the case. I never have tummy issues - well didn't until this. LOL!

SwanGal - It is imperative that you get a copy of the EGD and the biopsy results. This is the beginning of your journey and it would be good to start here with keeping a file of all your tests results. My motto? If the doctor sees it, I see it. Good luck.

I sure hope that if it is something, that it is something minor. Please keep us posted.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
