Guest guest Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Hi Everyone, I had the hidascan of my liver. and that was the hardest thing I did today.. lying on a narrow, hard table flat on my back for a solid hour and not moving.. my back , and hips were really hurting .. I suppose from lack of padding.. when the test was over. The doctor should have the typed report in his office Thursday morning. Then , I went over to the radiology dept and had an ultrasound of my abdomen.. to check for stones in the common bile duct, etc.. I know that the tech was seeing the stone in my right kidney as she took a bunch of views of my right kidney and the mass in my left kidney as she also took a bunch of views of that. I thought I had time to go and do some errands, and etc, and then report back to the hospital for my EGD and colonoscopy. To be sure, I stopped in the endo lab and asked what time to return, and due to the very nasty weather, and the GI doctor being on time and moving right along, they said to take a seat and wait.. I was called back in a matter of minutes.. was done with both procedures and home before 2 pm.. that was God answering my prayers.. I had been on clear liquids the day before, doing a bowel cleansing prep, and then nothing by mouth after midnight.. and boy, was I ever dreading having to wait until 3-4 pm to have these tests done. Anyways, I dont have a gastric ulcer. my pouch is still intact and small, and everything else looked fine.. The colonoscopy was totally normal.. didnt reveal any masses, polyps, diverticulitis, etc.. Hopefully, Dr Rothwell will have a plan as to what has been causing this pain.. Dr Sedghi.. GI doctor... thinks most likely severe adhesions from all the abdominal surgeries I have had in the past two and half years and so closely together.. I dont know if I have to have surgery to correct the adhesions yet, if that is what the problem is. They were talking about if these tests were inconclusive, to make me go through an MRI Cholangiogram to be sure I dont have a hidden stone in the common bile duct .. CT scans, hidascans and ultrasounds can miss stones so I am told.. Anyways, I am off to bed. it was a long , tiring day.. and I still feel a bit groggy.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 - Glad to hear that you zipped through those tests. I would be exhausted, too, after all that in one day. I pray you are able to find an answer to your pain. Take care, my friend. Jeanne in WI Age 39 - Dr. T. Chua Open RNY - 5/21/02 5'7 " - 314/215/150-175 djgraves@...
