Endoscopy results? What does it mean?



Recommended Posts

Had endoscopy done today. Dr said he found scarring where my esophugus (spl) meets my stomach, scarring in my throat, a fold in my stomach, and said the bottom of my stomach was red and irritated. Also said something about testing for E Pylori. Said stomach might be healing from an ulcer. He took samples of everything to be sent out. Said i still MIGHT be able to have the sleeve done. He said absolutely NO Nsaids EVER. That was one of my arguements for having sleeve over bypass.

So I have no idea where this leaves me. The test results will be in next week and I have an appointment with the surgeon again on the 23rd, all my other testing has come back fine. So now its just wait and see. I will be devastated if I can not have this surgery.

I know how frustrated you must be but you do not want this surgery until your stomach is healed. It is so fortunate that your doctor found this out bf jumping into an operation like this. Do you have to take nsaids? I'm hoping they can find the problem and heal your stomach so you can go forward healthier. Everything happens for a reason.

Hugs to you on hearing good news.

NSAID is anti-inflamatory drugs, such as Mobic, Advil, Ibuprofen, Vicoprofen and a host of others and also many more have NSAIDs in their formula. According to an article in OH magazine, they should be avoided after VSG or RNY.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
