Pray for a scope this week



Recommended Posts

So they have done gastrografin test and barium tablet. The tablet test showed what they think is a stricture. My pee was brown and they think I have a UTI as well. So they are starting antibiotics and I'm on fluids as well.

They are admitting me probably for the night. They are looking at doing the EGD in the morning to correct the stricture.

I don't want to stay but I am glad they are going to fix me!

Glad to hear that they are finally doing something about it. I just had my stricture dilated this morning and have a follow-up EDG in two weeks to see progress. Clear liquid diet for two days. Annoyed but at least I may be out of the woods for now.

Just got back to my room from EGD. They did find a stricture and dilated it. So happy to know I'll get better. Hoping to go home today.

Thank you everyone for your support!

They are keeping me again overnight. They are going to move me from liquids ( which I'm on at the moment) to purée/ soft foods and see how I do before they let me go. Just making sure the EGD was successful or if I need another dilation.

I'm glad they are really making sure I'm good.

So glad yore doing better....any idea why they wouldn't look until you were 6 weeks out??? Seems kinda cruel and unusual and risky?

I'm thinking they wanted to make sure it wasn't just swelling or usual nausea. I knew something was wrong but I guess they hear that a lot? Not sure but I was miserable.

Off IV fluids as of this morning and they said I can go home this afternoon.

Ate breakfast! Real food! Grits, eggs, and toast. I finished most of it. I kept waiting for it to hurt and it never did. I'm so relieved that I can eat again.

Just took a shower and it felt wonderful!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
