Endoscopy findings...

[DaddyMarie 291]

Well I had my endoscopy yesterday and I have Gastritis (inflamed stomach lining) and a hiatal hernia, (that I never knew I had) they took a biopsy of my stomach and now I have stinging and pain in my upper belly.... They said that I have to ok for Surgery but this inflammation thing kinda erks me out. I have been taking NSAIDs for many years.... Anyone else?

I had gastritis and an ulcer. I took Aleve for many years. I no longer take it and my back pain seems to be better with the little weight I have lost.

[DaddyMarie 291]

How many moths out are you? How much have you lost?

[magtart 603]

I am only 6.5 weeks out and have lost 25 lbs. Being almost 60 years old, the weight is not falling off, but it is slow and steady. I have two ruptured discs in my lumbar spine and have plates, screws, and cadaver bone in my cervical spine. I am feeling lots better even though I still have some bad days with osteoarthitis and spinal stenosis.

Gastritis can also be from allergies/intolerances. My husband was diagnosed with Celiac after having a scope. His biopsies came back normal and since he started eating gluten free his health has improved tremendously.

Interesting! I find out the results next week.

Well good luck to you! How have you been doing? Were you in a lot of pain after surgery? Can you feel the soreness in your stomach where it has been but and stapled? I can feel the pain from the biopsy...

I'm doing fine...no pain in my stomach except for the one big incision still twinges now and then.

I also had gastritis even though I had no symptoms. I was surprised.

I had my upper endoscopy today. I, too, have gastritis and a hiatal hernia. I'm not sure what all of this means considering that I'm quite a few months out from surgery. I'm happy to know now as opposed to finding closer to my surgery date. I was given a biopsy. I'll find those results out later in the week. I'm just glad that part of the wls process is over with.

I was sore in my upper tummy after my endoscopy. How about you?

[keish_lorraine 190]

I'm not sore in my stomach. My throat burns a little though. I feel as if I have to keep clearing my throat. I've been drinking tea since I've been home. I'm still feeling the effects of the anesthesia too. I need to lay down for a long nap.

You deserve a long nap!

I have my endoscopy next week and I'm really nervous about it! Because of how it will feel, and also because I don't want any of the results to affect my ability to have the sleeve surgery.

You won't feel it. You'll be asleep.
