I was speaking with Karen yesterday and thought it would be easier,
for those so incluinced to read, if I just updated the group as a
whole.
The results are in: NO gallbladder issues, and NOT an ulcer either!
I had an endoscopy done this morning (fully awake, thank you, which is
not something for those with low pain thresholds and definitely not
something I would suggest to the general population, but I had a bad
reaction to valium before and refused to have anything remotely
related to it this time). So, since I didn't have the loopy meds, I'm
able to sit and type, though hubby doesn't want me near the sewing
machine tonight...lol.
Anyway, the results are: gastritis, esophagitis, duodenitis,
and...drumroll please....hiatal hernia! First sentence under "what is
a hiatal hernia?" states that it is common in people age 50 and
over....um, I *just* turned 36!!! So....went through all the
suggestions including discussing the option of surgery (rejected) and
the bottom line is that it is no longer an option for me to smoke and
I have to lose at least 5, preferably 10 pounds and get exercising
more, which will help strengthen my abdominal muscles and hopefully
start closing this thing off. Doc said, for someone as young as me,
this is one of the worst he has seen....in fact, he hasn't seen one
this bad in a while in the "older" population. SO.......smoking gone,
coffe down to half cup in the morning and half cup at night at the
most, and once I drop the children off at school, I will be rotating
exercises: treadmill, WiiFit, Weider home gym, toning exercises from
when I was trying to lose "baby fat". As it gets warmer, I will move
from the treamill to the track at the school. NOw that I have
inherited DHs old MP3 player, it should make the time go faster and
more enjoyably.
This royally sucks...but at least it's not cancer or the need for
major surgery.

Taking off the weight helped my sil with similar problems.
Sounds like an easier fix than any type of surgery!
One of my sisters used to work with pt patients. She
said over time she figured out that drs. tell everyone that
their problem is the 'worst he has seen' for one reason or
another. I guess folks want to really need a problem so
docs feel like they make patients happy if they win the
prize for the worst. Kind of weird but when you start
listening to folks I think sis is right. Just an FYI.
I'm glad you can be in control of your health issues.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

Hi Larisa,
I'm sorry about the hiatal hernia and the extra issues it's bringing. But
as you said, fortunately it isn't something more serious, AND at least there
is something you can do to help it. With so many health issues a person
doesn't have that option.
Feel better soon!

What a relief to know what it is, and that it is something that is
manageable!
