Endoscopy Results



Recommended Posts

:( I dont know what it all means hopefully it all ads up to GERD, abnormal motility in esophagus, cricopharyngeus abnormal. mild stricture, and LAgrade A esophagitis...candidasis in espohagus and my hiatal hernia... I tried to read up on most of it, alot is with the gerd., but i dont know enough to know if I will still qual for surgery.--depressed, and wondering, if I will ever get there. Surgeons visit Oct 4, he should have radiology findings by then. ;) its gonna be a long week.

I got copies of all my stuff -not radiology report, and I tried to google it all. My surgeon will get the final results 3/5 days after radiology. If all looks pink they might just tell u your OK. I have issues. but today I am more "with-it" and the candida is being fixed by a pill- one a day for 2 weeks. , I think this came from a very bad sinus infection and i got some heavy antibiotics, and i think the rest of what he wrote is some damage by GERD,,, JUST another reason to have surgery. The radiologist will test for cancer etc, but the last endoscopy nothing like that came up. I think all will be well, but glad they found this yeast infection cause it can become a major issue in time. so thank you God for the bump on the road!! Are you just having a routine endoscopy?

Keep us all posted. The Lap Band should help with the GERD, if you do things right.

I will hopefully know Tuesday what the 2 Drs have to say.. Please Lord let it be Ok do do surgery. I know my hernia will be repaired and this is big issue with my GERD- I just hope it is NOT too late and I'm damaged on the inside. The Gastro guy only said- gotta wait on radiology... so next week.. trying to stay positive and I'm bit loopy from meds for the candida. so hopefully it will go fast... I'm praying :( I hope this candida will not stop it either, from what I read the pills should kill it. I will post next Tue to whats happens..

I has told I also have GERD and the doc also took a couple samples for biopsie and everything turned out fine. I was just put on Protonix for the GERD. He approved be for banding and I just have to see him every few months for the GERD. Don't worry everything should be okay, I'm sure your doctor will give you the okay ! Good Luck & think positive thoughts!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
