My Upper GI results.

[DeLarla 22]

I had an Upper GI 2 weeks ago, but nobody has called me with the results. I just called the doctor, and his secretary read the results. She said the doctor will call me later to further discuss.

I don't know what it means, but I have "relatively mild limitation of gastric distension at EG junction."

Other than that, I have good results. Normal, no leakage, barium moves normal, no esophogeal (doctor speak that I have to wait for him to call to explain.)

I don't know if this doctor will want me to have an endoscopy at this point. I'm sure my insurance won't cover one, since he didn't find anything remarkable in the Upper GI. So now all I want for Christmas is a port and a belly scope!

My incision is still slightly leaking. My surgeon gave me till next week for it to heal. If it's not healed, they have to open the wound.

THANKS TRILLIONS FOR ALL YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT!

That sounds good to me!

Does anyone know what this means? "relatively mild limitation of gastric distension at EG junction."

[New Hope 37]

"You're full of hot air". LOL

[DeLarla 22]

You mean I'm just a lil gassy? Duh, it didn't take no fancy test to tell ME that!

[Iluvharleys 15]

lil gassy???

LOL!!! Lisa, I don't know what it means, but at least it doesn't sound too terrible, so this has got to be good news! Hey, it sounds like that incision is ALMOST HEALED!!! Woo Hoo!!!

[DeLarla 22]

Betty, have you gotten the farties yet? May as well get used to them. My wound isn't healed yet... still holding my breath and hoping though!

Hey Lisa "relatively mild limitation of gastric distension at EG junction" just means that you have a mild swelling at point where the esophagus (food tube) meets the Gastric(stomach) section. In other words, you are stretching the esophagus by overeating but only MILDLY. The EG Junctions stands for Esophageal Gastric Junction. Now when the doc calls to explain this statement ask him if this is what he means? If not then I failed my Digestive Anatomy and Physiology class. LOL!!

As far as "Normal, no leakage, barium moves normal, no esophogeal (doctor speak that I have to wait for him to call to explain.)" this goes it sounds as if he was saying that everything is fine. Didn't say what came after the "no esophogeal" statement. Usually it would say something like no esophogeal trauma or abnormalities, etc.

Keep us posted.

Penni, I was lucky to get that much info out of the secretary, which is why my sentence stops dead after "esophogeal." But other than the one comment, she said the rest was normal. She even read one sentence that used the words "stomach" and "excellent" in the same sentence, so that's gotta be good.

Now, about my eating too much... who, me? Sheesh, sure can't eat much at all with my lil bandie, can I? Time to do some serious work to cut back my portions. Darn, busted.

Can't be good though, especially this soon in the band game. If I don't stop, mild could turn into monster! Thanks for the info!

Lisa - That is why I said "lil gassey?" Yup, and I assure you it ain't "Lil", I can stand up with the men any time!

[Iluvharleys 15]

That is why I said "Lil Gassey?", yup, but it ain't Lil Gassey, I can stand up with the best of them!

[athykay 9]

Lisa it sounds like good news to me!! Does the lil gassey ever go away?????

[DeLarla 22]

Yes, the lil gassy goes away. Unfortunatly, the big ol gassy takes its place!
