Gastro-Gastric Fistula or Stricture or Both
Jun 05, 2009
Well, after suffering with frequent vomiting and intertolerance for just about everything, I finally went to the surgeon this week. It ended up with a barium swallow series of xrays and an appointment with the GI and an appointment for an Upper Endoscopy. Originally he wanted to do it the very next day, but I put it off until Tuesday, as I had just spent virtually the entire day for what was to be an early lunchtime office visit.Today the surgeon called me to explain that the results of the swallow test showed that I have a gastro-gastric fistula, which is a reconnection from the pouch to the original stomach, probably caused by an ulser, which may also have caused a stricture, which was the original concern.
He said that we will still do the upper endoscopy, and do the expansion if indicated, but we will treat the possible ulser with medication first to see if that heals it. I pray it will, or it may ultimately mean another surgery!!!!!! SHIT.
