I'm pretty sure o have a stricture. I can keep nothing down but Water. What's an EGD like? Do they put you to sleep? I'm scared of having one. I'm afraid of what's gonna happen to me just living on water.

Piece of cake. I had one last week and yes, they put you to sleep (in my case for about 30 minutes). You won't feel a thing. Some folks have a little sore throat following but that's about it.

Thank God! I was so nervous. Doc thinks it may be swelling but if I can't keep food down by Monday I think he will do an egd. What were ur symptoms for your stricture?

I didn't have a stricture or any of the symptoms. In my case they did the endoscopy to identify the cause of the tiniest amount of blood in a stool test. Turned out to be an ulcer at the anastomosis. No pain, no other symptoms, I feel great. I'll get more information after the first of the year but I don't think it's real serious. But it's there and it means no alcohol, chocolate or spicy food for a while. I miss my glass of wine before dinner but the rest is no big deal. If I can lose 130 pounds I can beat an ulcer!! Lol!

Lisa the endoscope is no big deal..you won't feel it or remember it...I've had several...all of mine before rny...is weird that my foods used to get stuck before every having rny and it always helped getting the scope done..they always called it rotar rooter lol...i was well aware of what it would feel like having something stuck before I had surgery....best of luck to you
