MzEboni912 177 Posted November 15, 2013 My doctor says my UGI test shows thatI am have a hernia. I will need a scope that goes down my nose to see what is going on. Has anyone had one of these? What should I expect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tylerbaci 23 Posted November 15, 2013 Hi, yes, I was told I had a hiatal hernia when they performed the EDG. I and my band installed today and the Doctor was to have fixed the hernia too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandista 7,466 Posted November 16, 2013 My doctor indicated he often finds a hiatal hernia but they didn't perform any tests or procedures beforehand. Sure enough, there was a hiatal hernia. Glad to have that fixed as I think it was causing some difficulties, including some referred pain in my left chest/breast area. I don't think it changed my recovery in any way -- doing great here on day ten. Best wishes! 1 freedom4emjay reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yadiordz 346 Posted November 16, 2013 Did you have a endoscopy test done because is the only way I believe they can be sure about those hernias , I did one it was mandatory with my doctor before surgery good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tylerbaci 23 Posted November 16, 2013 Yes, the EDG was an endoscopy It was mandatory. It should all be fixed now. I am doing well. One problem is it hurts if I cough, sneeze or bend. Time will heal all of that I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkinnyJenn 68 Posted November 16, 2013 I had the scope and you get knocked out, at least I did. It's really easy to deal with and I was in and out in like 2 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MzEboni912 177 Posted November 20, 2013 I had my TNE (transnasal esophagoscopy). God knows I don't ever want to do that again unless I am knocked out. I am having pains in my stomach, throat is sore and I just feeling bad. Has anyone else had this done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tylerbaci 23 Posted November 20, 2013 Hope you feel better. Popsicles help the throat pain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
