Mita 2 Posted December 13, 2005 Ok everyone after seeing my band doc and going over the situation and many questions that I had they did a GI to rule out a slip from the last time they did one back in OCT. At the same time they were calling registration to make the arrangements for the GI someone else was talking Direct to the Gastro Doctor. There is a 4 week wait just to get a consult appt for him but he was kind enough to let me come in this friday for a consultation then they will walk me down to do the scope. Hopefully I am not eroded but hopefully they can tell me why the reflux and the new pain. Anyway please pray for me that I do not have another anxiety attack or what ever it is in the pre op. That alone freaks me out. Reason they wanted to do the upper GI - They had another Patient who complained of reflux and vomiting. Even though they had done a Prior GI months before she had a slip. Reason for the Scope. Rule out Ulcer or Erosion (we all know it is possible with no symptoms) and Gastritis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLarla 22 Posted December 13, 2005 I'm her for ya Bub! They could probably give you Valium to help ease anxiety for the prep work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mita 2 Posted December 13, 2005 I asked if they could have something (valium, prozac) waiting for me at registration. The gal thought I was kidding.. Wait till Friday when she walks me there she will see How I get.. Oh yeah I am up 10lbs Oh yeah almost started crying my eyes out. I asked the gal who was looking at the screen how my band looked. She tells me well I cannot really say but if you really want to know it looks a little tilted.. WTF tilted, Tilted how up, down -- What exactly do you mean by tilted... Then she says' you better wait till the radioligist reads it.. Ok then why comment???????????? No sooner was I in the parking gargage I was on the phone to the Band office. They say we just got the results and your band is fine.. Thats what I get for asking:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mousecrazy 2 Posted December 13, 2005 I wish you the best for your health. Take care of yourself, and ask for a Xanax or something. Do you have a regular doctor you could call? I just thought if you did she/he might already know of your anxiety issues, and know why you need something. good luck! Cindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted December 13, 2005 Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully you'll get some answers and it will be good one! Keep us posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gentlespirit 1 Posted December 13, 2005 I would definitely ask your PCP for something for the anxiety. We don't get points for suffering through something that's so easily taken care of. Chances are if you explain, they will be glad to give you something for this stressful situation. Emily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mita 2 Posted December 13, 2005 I called and talked to the Gasto office - They assure me that once I am there if they see any problem they will give me something. The reason being is they do not want anything to interfer with the Happy drugs they give you. I called my little brother (36yrs) and asked if he would go with me.. Might get us kicked out he is so funny but that should help me. Thanks You all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
