2Nd Endoscopy And Still Ulcers And "very" Red Stomach ?

[Odee 57]

I had my follow up endoscopy today and unfortunately my ulcers haven't healed. (not bacterial)

I wasn't even awake long and completely coherent when he was talking to me. He (doctor) seemed very agitated when he told me and said things were "on hold" for now and he was going to compare my results from a few weeks ago and come back and talk to me. He also said my stomach was very red. He never came back and by now I was dressed and waiting to get discharged so one of the nurses paged him. When she had him on the phone, he told her to tell me, to call him at the office on Monday.

I was released with the instructions to double the prilosec. I called his office after I was home for a couple hours because I had a question for the coordinator about my sleep study. While we were talking I told her about the follow up endoscopy and that I'm supposed to call the doctor on Monday. She said he is off on Monday's and in surgery on Tuesdays and etc. etc. She said just call me Monday and we'll figure it out.

So now I'm confused about how this changes the plan for surgery and I am disappointed in my doctor. He was honest with me today when he was talking to me before the endoscopy and said he didn't remember me but he see's hundreds of patients. My first endoscopy was in January. Today I was number 11 of 12 patients he was doing endoscopy's on.

Anyhow, I'll get over being disappointed in him, my biggest concern if this means I will not be able to have surgery.

Anyone else have this experience or any advice at this stage for me ?

Thanks !

It sounds like you may need Sucralfate.
