So the Bravo is done, I had no real problems. I think the thing passed as well, since I cant feel the tiny bit of intrusion in my chest and when I swallow. Now today I get to go to the surgeon and...
I had the same problems. I could not do water. I lived on jello and broth for a while. but plain water just did not work. For some reason, coffee went down ok. I could never figure any rhyme or...
So I had the scope and Bravo. I can feel it in my chest, kind of like an intruder. My surgeon said after the scope that it does not look like the Nissen failed, all looks well. He did take a biopsy...
I had my Nissen about 10 months ago. I healed pretty well, lost 17 pounds, and felt pretty good. I lived my live better than before, even quit smoking. But gained the weight back.... Now, for a few...
I thought of all the different ways to get that going, but the problem still is that I can only take tiny sips at a time. I called the doc, and he said to wait. or use enema. I just keep sipping all...
Hello, friends. Today is Monday, I had my Nissen last Wednesday. I have some pain in my shoulders, which I understand is from the gas, not a big problem, warmth and rubbing helps, it will work itself...
Maybe that is the test that I am scheduled for. I dont recall what they called it. My doctor explained that this is a test during which they put a tube up my nose, and I have to swallow water, and...
I am not sure what kind of test you are talking about. I had an upper GED, and now the swallowing test. That is all that has been done....
I will do everything that is required, I just want to feel better. At this point it is hard to imagine a day without any pain and burning. It will be amazing!!...
Thank you so much. You keep giving me hope and a light to see at the end of the tunnel!...
I am scheduled for the swallow test next week. Doctor said right after he gets the results, he will schedule my Nissen surgery. For the past few days my symptoms are getting worse. Kind of like that...
No. I had so many cysts and soblarge growths that my doctor had to open me all the way up for the hysterectomy...
Dilation worked, at least I can eat now. On to the next hurdle, some sort of study of the esophagus, then schedule Nissen surgery....
Yes. They checked. And all was well there. today I'm going in for dilation. Hopefully I can eat afterwards. ......
I never had throat spams, but had others, on my face, in my tummy, etc. and yes, you can have those without any pain. Is it just water, or any liquid?...
Thank you all so much for your answers. So many things the doctor said do not match up with how I am, and what I read. Anyway. I know I need to do something. And surgery seems to be the right thing....
Thank you again. I just had a conversation with one of our clients, and warned him that I would not be able to help him in court, due to my surgery. He had the guts to call me a whimp, and that I...
Wow, now that I posted the reply, I saw your post, Idrunner, and I am glad I did. I better schedule a bit more time off, and prepare my office better. I am glad my husband is self employed, and can...
Thank you so much for your reply! It was good to hear a non-sugar coated answer. Planning is not that big of a deal for me. my children are grown and in college, I don't have to worry about them or...
I have so much to learn. I just left my doctors office, after he told me that I have an almost totally obstructed esophagus, and that I need to have a dilation done in three days, and surgery...
