Endoscopy and weird diagnosis



Recommended Posts

I had an endoscopy today and was told I had gas pockets above my band which was causing all kinds of issues for me. I can't find anything online about this. Help!! I might know more about this if my doctor had told ME anything after the procedure. But no of course not, she only talked to my hubby and I love him very much but he really doesn't understand any medical stuff. He also said she didn't even give him time to ask questions and he only talked to her on the phone, she didn't even go out to talk to him after it was done!!

Anyway, anyone know anything about this??

Are you having symptoms?

Maybe she meant a hiatal hernia? Call the office in the AM and ask to speak to your doctor's nurse so you can know what is actually going on. Good luck!

I'm interested to hear what your symptoms are. I've never heard of that diagnosis before. What is the course of actions to fix the problem?

I have been throwing up almost everything I eat for a few months, even soft food. No heartburn, no acid reflux at all. I also have spurs on the vertebrae in my neck pushing against my esophagus. She gave me a script for Prilosec and was instructed to see her in 3 weeks. I've had lots of problems with this doctor (I've actually never met her yet....dealing with nurse practitioner). When the anaesthesiologist asked me questions he told me that I had acid reflux and I told him I didn't. He said this doctor had that down as what was wrong with me. I'm really confused.

I'd love to do that but I've had no luck getting the staff at this office to do anything! It took 3 weeks for them to even order my tests and then only because I went to the office and told them I needed it done asap because I couldn't eat anything without throwing up.

      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.
