Upper Endoscopy
Jun 10, 2009
Well, things went well--ultimately. Waiting all day for the appointment to come was tough, especially without being able to eat or drink anything. But I suppose I was getting used to that as I hadn't really been able to eat much of anything without getting sickened by it.The anesthesia didn't sit well with me at all...I was very nauseous and did finally throw up, despite the various medications they gave me. The doctor said the opening from the pouch was nearly closed and he opened it with the balloon. They didn't see the fistula, but could confirm that there was a small ulcer, for which he gave me medicine which will hopefully heal that.
I felt like crap for hours and couldn't wait to get out of there to go home. Slept, had some broth and slept the rest of the night. Fortunately I woke up feeling much better this morning. For the first time since my surgery I was able to drink 11 oz of a protein shake within 20-25 minutes! And nothing I had today made me sick!! Will need to be on soft foods again for a week, but just the feeling of being able to drink without the plumbing backing up is a huge relief!
