Had an endoscopy yesterday...
| Thu, 09-09-2004 - 8:36am |
Hi all!
I had posted about my HIDA scan confusion, and everyone was so helpful with their input. My GI sent me for an endoscopy yesterday to rule things out before we go worrying about the GB. He expected to find pink pretty tummy.
It went well, he found an ulcer and a growth of some sort ((tumor was a term he used), and some abrations that look like rug burns. He wants me to go for a CT scan. And he wants me to take Prilosec OTC for the ulcer.
Anyone else have a CT of the stomach? If he didnt think it was anything why would we order a CT?
And if the ulcer is not causing me problems, why should I take the meds?
Thanks again guys! You are awesome!

Dawn,
Hi Dawn!
Sorry I am getting back to you late.
I am not a big fan of meds, but hubby talked me into doing the Prilosec OTC for 14 days. I dont have indegestion, or anyother tummy problems. For years, now that I think about it, I get wicked stomach aches (bloated) when I eat fruits, so I just dont eat fruits. I normally eat on the light side anyway cause I always end up with a bloated stomach that feels full and uncomfortable. In a weird way, I feel much better when I am starving than when I have eaten. HAHAHAHAH So I dont think I have any problems with ongoing stomach problems!~
He gave me pictures of the little tumor thing. I also saw some skin that was yellow, but he didnt say anything about that. He did not do a biopsy, which I thought was odd. I have a CT scan scheduled for Friday (had a busy work schedule). I will keep you posted!
I still dont understand what they can see from a CT scan, seeing as he was looking inside my stomach!
thanks again!
Dawn
Hi Dawn!
I think that maybe they want another look before they decide to do anything.
