Can anyone shine any light

[linz77]

If there is anyone out there that can help, I'd really appreciate it, I had my gastroscopy at the end of November and was so excited to be accepted on to the waiting list for surgery, but this morning I've received a letter requesting I go for another one, the results came back for the previous tests and everything was normal,has anyone else had this ? I'm now really anxious and scared they've changed there mind about operating . Please help if you can ,thank you x

Give them a ring, does the letter say repeat? It could be they have sent the appointment by mistake!

Try not to worry xx

 

[linz77]

Thanks Mazza , I've called them and they are looking into it now,but my surgeon is in surgery all day,so they can't give me an answer until they've spoken to him. :/

No probs, stranger things have happened though with appointments x

I had 2 gastroscopies, that was because my frist one showd small sites of gastritis(inflammation in the gut) I had to start taking lansoprasole and then go back for a second one to check that all was well, and it was. was done bout 8 weeks after the 1st one. xx They didnt say anything at my app just sent me the letter I thought I had been sooo brave the 1st time and now had o do it again, Cried my eyes out when I read it, SOFT ***** THAT i AM. Was over in a jiffy, then back on the list xx

Hi chrisa, see that's the thing, they found nothing while they were in there and the biopsy was normal too.years ago I was told I had a hernia but when Mr Small did the procedure in november he said there wasn't one. I just hope they've not changed there mind,cos that would just be the end of me xx

Hi I dont think you would have got this far for them to change their mind, but I can see why you would be worried as I would be. I am sure its nothing, but lets hope they call you tomorrow. Have you left a message with his secretary? Just ring the switchboard and ask for Mr Smalls secretary. Consultants check in with their secretarys on a regular basis so leave a message with her. Try not to fret! xx

Thanks Borogirl, yeh I've left a message, a big fingers crossed its just a mistake and hopefully they'll get back to me tomorrow and tell me it was a blunder on there part and everything is still on course , thanks for your kind words xx

That's good. If not stay on the line and ask switchboard to bleep someone in the bariatric team. I did this before Christmas. I work in a Hospital and getting hold of someone is a nightmare, but people tend to respond to their bleep if they are not in the office. Let me know how u get on. Or mail the consultant direct. E.g [email protected]. This is the Sunderland email, just change the name x

Mine was still on course it was just a prcautionary check, i had no indication that anything was remotely wrong at all, and they found a 2cm hernia but they said it was of no consequence because it would be bypassed when thye did the op. xx

 

[borogirl]
