I had my endoscopy yesterday.  They found a hiatal hernia, and she put on the paper (I was out of it when she actually explained it to me) "Looks like something is pushing in the bottom of your stomach, want to do a CAT scan to confirm its nothing."  So, that freaks me out!  The nurse said that if it was serious, she would have stayed to talk to me and she didn't.  But now I am an anxious mess until the scan tomorrow, and I'm hoping I find something out tomorrow and don't have to wait through the weekend.

I went this morning to have blood drawn and they gave me this HUGE nasty drink!  ICK!

So this RNY will also include;

-gallbladder removal because of gallstones

-hernia repair

 

Anyone else run into anything like this?

 

Thnx all

Yes, my surgeon routinely removes the gall bladder if it's still in there, to prevent its eventual removal later, very common in RNY patients.  As well, he looks for hernias to repair while he's in there.  Nice to have it done at one time if you are able, rather than multiple surgeries, and multiple recoveries.  Good luck to you!!

Thanks ladies.  I'm mostly concerned with why she wanted a CT scan done.  Had it done this morning, but won't find out until Monday/Tuesday :(
