Test Results-Need interpretation

I am in the revision process for VSG to DS. I have had several tests in the last month and I am in need of some input as to what they mean.

I had an endoscopy and the findings were:

The Z-line was regular and was found 37 cm from the incisors.
Evidence of a sleeve gastrectomy was found in the stomach. There was a
dilated fundus. Sleeve was widely patent.
Localized mild inflammation characterized by linear erosions was found
in the gastric antrum.

I do have really bad heartburn if I don't take a daily Prilosec.

I understand the term dilated fundus and what it implies-but not the widely patent comment. However, what does it mean in the long run? Sorry to ramble, but when I think about this, it seems to mean to me that severe GERD caused dilation which in turn caused my VSG to stretch and then gave me more hunger/capacity for food.

I could be completely off base, but I am curious to know what it truly means. I am not looking for a way to blame my regain-believe me, I know what I ate and how I didn't really exercise. I am just trying to figure out the jargon.

I do have a follow up on 4/21 with the surgeon-but I am an impatient person! LOL

Thanks for any imput :)

Sorry, I don't know anything about this- but just wanted to wish you well in your journey. 

Maybe post this in the revision or DS board. You'll probably get more people who can help.

Good luck with it all!

It means it's not obstructed and food/water flows through the way its supposed to.  Sounds like you have a dilated sleeve with possible ulcers (?) or gastritis.  That's my layman's interpretation.

Patent = intact

Widely patent = intact and wide
