surprising phone call.... on a SUNDAY???????????
Post Date: 4/10/11 1:04 pm
I just knew we had the best surgeons anywhere here!
Long story short, long term nausea, worsening these last weeks. Finally saw a surgeon about it friday, had blood labs, peed in a cup (not htat I had much to pee), and a stat ct scan. He'd left before I had any idea what to do. Knew I'd be back monday morning. Well I just got a phone call from him. First saying not to bother going for the test, then saying yes,he'll call the radiologist about what to look for. Then while we discussed labs etc, he encouraged me to go to the er for fluids. I've been resistant, but this headache is getting bad. I know it's from being dry. Anyway, now I'm to completely have the upper gi (well this portion of it...) and then have them page the surgeon. I may be taken directly to the eGD lab. Everyone is really thinking stricture now.
Just wanted to update on that.... and throw it out there... Bassett Hospital/Healthcare has the best team of bariatric surgeons anywhere!
Also wanted to update. I'm having trouble drinking/eating at all. I've had about 1/4 to 1/3 of a yogurt. The sips of water I have had have come back up. So that's not going either.

I had my stricture fixed on my birthday, March 4th. It was the BEST birthday gift! As I was waking up they had me drink a big glass of ice water and it felt SO GOOD going down!
