Update: had gastroscopy last night. Went very well, although I was very nervous up til I'd had the sedation. All I remember is the camera coming out, but as I was so relaxed I didn't panic, and hearing the nurse say,"it's all done"
According to DH I was gone for 45 minutes but it only seemed like 2.
The result is that I have a slow digestive tract. Despite having to fast for 7 hours, my stomach was still full
There were no signs of Barrett's disease( pre- cancer), ulcers or burns in my stomach but I'm still to take omeprazole daily as this helps with the heartburn.
I am so relieved.
I left hospital around 9pm after tucking into a sandwich washed down with a nice cup of tea
Feeling fine this morning but can't drive for 24 hours so won't be going anywhere.I'll just take it easy in front of the telly and DD can bring me a cuppa or two,oooooo! and maybe a chocolate biccie.......or two
