Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 I must respectfully disagree on the urgency of having an endoscopy. Some of us, me included, had " reflux " of some sort before surgery. Reflux in and of itself is common these days. I had " reflux " about once or month or so for the past several years - and this has continued after my MGB. I will consider having an endoscopy after my one year anniversary - depending on the advice of my physician. I understand the need to document what is going on inside our stomach and esophagus but would not rush out to have an endoscopy with one episode - which may or may not ever be repeated. in GA acid reflux at 14 months out....--- help! > > last night was the worse.

Acid reflux is not the same as bile reflux. Acid reflux is stomach acid, being upchucked into the throat. It is easily treated with antacids. It is not a big deal. Bile reflux is INTESTINTAL contents (poop, whatever you want to call it) getting into the STOMACH. It eats the stomach lining and also the throat. The damage is painless, but eventually, it causes enough damage that the throat and esophageal muscles no longer work properly so bile goes up into the throat, too. An Endo is the only way to find out what's going on. Is there really a reason NOT to have one? It's not a useless procedure, it's painless, and very easy to have done.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 That's true - it is very easy to have one done and assuming you have insurance that will pay for it that helps. However, I am not saying it is useless but I would not hurry and have one for one episode - just my opinion. Everyone has to do what they feel is right for themselves after all - we all want the same thing - to be healthy! in GA Re: Deena > > > I must respectfully disagree on the urgency of having an > endoscopy.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 The cost is one good reason not to have it unless your doctor feels you need it. It is expensive and many insurance companies won't pay for anything having to do with WLS. Pat Re: Deena > I must respectfully disagree on the urgency of having an endoscopy.

To me, I couldnt care less becuz I dont give a damn if you can fuck or not cuz girl your a snot! I didn't imply you didn't know anything. Heck, I don't even know you (unlike Alana or Kendra who I've known for a while). I had a straight forward question and they were the first to respond. End of story. I was trying to be polite and at least thank you for offering. I didn't even realize that I responded to your previous e-mail to the group till I got a copy of it in my mailbox so chill out. And now that I see how you responded to that, I'm glad I didn't get your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm so upset to hear this. Her family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers. I'll always remember her witty sense of humor and how she always could make me smile, even if I was having a shitty day. I just have to think she and are in a better place now or I wouldn't stop crying. But it isn't always easy to remember that or very comforting all the time....RIP Deena.
