Had Endoscopy On Friday



Recommended Posts

For anyone scared of an Endoscopy pease don't be scared. You will get admitted have an IV and BP cuff put on and a blood oxygen light on your finger. They will take you to the room have you lay on your side and they gave me verdal one injection and then a second injection. I do not remember the second. I woke up in my room with them taking the IV and heart leads off. I got really hot for like 15 minutes and they gave me some Water. I left the hospital, got home walked inside unassisted and slept until 100 pm. It was the best sleep i've had in years.

I was admitted at 630am and was home by 900 am.

The disturbing thing was there was two biopsys taken and he informed me I had reflux. I do not think I ve ever had indigestion in my life.

Waiting for results and path forward. Throat is a little scratchy today (Sat).

Hope this helps

Thanks! I have mine on Monday. I am actually having two procedures. Some type of fat density, total body ultrasound. I am kinda worried because it is after the endoscopy and I hope I feel up to it!

Had my endoscopy about 2 weeks ago. It was a breeze. Friendly staff, full explanations, wheeled into a little room. iV monitor bp cuff...good night. Woke up, woozy for about 10 minutes, fine then out, felt great. Unfortunately I was biopsied positive H Pylori gastritis (imagine my surprise, I had no idea). Just finished 2 weeks antibiotics and prevacid, wait 2 weeks for an H Pylori breath test, and hope it's cleared. Once thats clear, i have 2 more nut visits and then have my ppw submitted to insurance. Keeping my fingers crossed. That said, endoscopy is a breeze. Everything else is work.

      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.
