Hello!

If you recall, a few weeks ago, I posted that I have been having problems (nausea, pain and general discomfort) any time I ate meat (beef, chicken, turkey, seafood, pork).  I saw my surgeon last week who put me on prilosec, as she believed I might be having issues with GERD, she told me to avoid any caffeine, citrus or acidic foods and she ordered me to have an EGD to see if there was any narrowing or problems with my pouch.  I had the EGD on Monday and there was nothing.  No ulceration, restrictions, narrowing or obstructions.  He was stumped.  He plans on talking with my surgeon so I am waiting to hear from either of them for my next step.  I haven't even tried any meat since last Friday, as that didn't go well at all.  I will post more when I have more information, but wanted to share that the EGD showed nothing.  I also had lots of blood drawn on Monday, so we will see what those show.

I'm sorry they didn't find anything.  Hopefully your surgeon will have some idea of what the next step is!

Good luck and keep us posted.  We'll be thinking of you.
