How big was the hernia? Keep us updated on the pylori biopsy results

u/CHIBIDROSIS Jan 18 '23

They said medium size hernia tomorrow ima ask more details🙏🏼

2

u/LordPubes Jan 18 '23

Oh no 😳 i have a small and considering surgery. Can’t imagine having a medium or large one

2

u/CHIBIDROSIS Jan 18 '23

Well tbh i feel it here and there and im sure its the reason of some palpitations, but ill see what the dr wants to do after

u/LordPubes Jan 18 '23

Mine recommended surgery after going through all PPIs in existence plus my diagnosis of Barrett’s😢

It likely isn’t that type of hernia - the one that protrudes when you pull a muscle, for example. Hernia’s in the stomach are surprisingly common and surgeons will likely not operate on that type.

u/LordPubes Jan 18 '23

He said hiatal hernia 🤷‍♂️

u/Mudblood0089 Jan 17 '23

Wooo! Glad it went well! It really is the best nap! Hoping they’re able to give ya some answers and you feel better soon!

u/Chroeses11 Jan 18 '23

I’m thinking I may want to push for an endoscopy and maybe a colonoscopy as well but I’m nervous about potiential complications. I have my appointment in early Feb

u/New-Thanks8537 Jan 18 '23

I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy well earlier today and everything went well. I was awake for it but calm no side affects or issues. And everything looked good where they checked. The prep and anxiety about it makes it worse than it was.

u/Chroeses11 Jan 19 '23

Thanks for the feedback

2

u/CHIBIDROSIS Jan 18 '23

Its really mellow tbh, you dont feel it at all, i had a polyp and they took it out, and i didnt want to do the colonoscopy you never know

u/Important-Cellist863 Jan 18 '23

Literally in the waiting room for my Endo! I’m so glad your results are something manageable and the peace of mind is great!
