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.

      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.
