Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 a Great to hear that you got through everything good!!! Hope the pathologist doesn’t find anything, I’m sure if the doctor said it looked ok it probably was!

I had my endoscope today, and the doctor was really pleased with what he saw. He said i have a very sluggish esophagus, and I really need to take things easy with what I eat and always drink my water with my meals, which of course, I do. He is very happy with the surgery and the wrap. He did dilate me just a bit, so I'm on a soft diet for a few days. He did find a polyp, which he removed and sent to pathology, but he doesn't think it is anything to worry about. So, we'll find out in about 4 days. He does want to see me in a few weeks in his office. He is a bit concerned with my weight loss, and he doesn't want me losing any more weight. I have lost about 8 pounds in the last few weeks. I don't like my primary doc, so my GI said he will see me and run a few blood tests, no biggie. So all in all, I guess I'm doing pretty good! Hope all is well with everyone on the board! a in St. Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Dear a, I am glad that you have got the test over with. It's not just the test itself, is it? It's the preparation and the worry too. But you must be feeling very satisfied so far at the outcome. Up to now it is good news and I feel pretty confident that the rest of your results will be too. As I said, I have been thinking about you and wishing for a good outcome and rejoice with you that this part of your journey will soon come to an end. I think it's very understandable that you would have lost those pounds and now you will be able to put them slowly back on. All the best a, With much love from your Friend in England. XX PS Thank you so much for the private note. You are so kind. a <paulastuhlman@...> wrote: Hi All! I had my endoscope today, and the doctor was really pleased with what he saw.
