Had to have another EGD

Jul 16, 2009

So last Sunday I wasn't feeling well. I was unable to eat anything, if I did I felt really gassy or I would vomit. So I didn't eat or drink Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday. Tuesday I met with the dietician and I told her what was going on and she was very concerned because she thought I would dehydrate, so she called the surgeon. After my appointment I went to work and got a call about 2 hours later saying that the doctor wants me to come in first thing in the morning to have another EGD with possible dilation??? First what the hell is dilation! LMAO!

I guess what happend was as I began to heal the new stomach opening began to narrow not allowing food to pass through so in turn I would vomit or feel really gassy and would belch alot! I mean the belching was embarrasing! So during the EDG it uses some sort of tool that streches the opening in the stomach so that food can pass into the intestines. The procedure was out-patient and now I feel a lot better.

I guess I shouldn'e complain since this was the only complication that I have had since my surgery.

O yeah I am down 60lbs!
I will keep you all posted!
