Another EGD (Dilation) Tomorrow
RNY on 01/13/12
Well folks it's back to the hospital and another EGD tomorrow morning. I undergo general sedation due to a traumatic experience from my first EGD, where I woke up during the procedure. I'm sure this won't help my severe, ongoing hair loss.
I am praying that this will be my last dilation. So so so tired of them and I am hoping to start a new job in the next week or so. My surgeon says the reason I keep getting strictures is because my tube isn't straight, it goes down and then takes a sharp, right angle turn. So he says that where it makes the turn, it keeps trying to heal together.
I'm hoping after this dilation it will be healed enough and won't close up again. Fingers crossed.
