gastroscopy

Got an appointment to go for a gastroscopy in a couple of weeks.
i think this is because the consultant was concerned that my mum had oesophageal / stomach cancer - he said that due to hereditary links this may place me in a higher risk category of getting stomach cancer which will affect whether or not they let me have the surgery.
Has anyone else had to have this done before being approved for the op for similar reasons ?
I'm feeling a bit crappy about the whole thing - partly because i'm concerned about not being able to have the op and partly because i'm anxious about the gastroscopy. I'm quite embarassed about the anxiety bit ! i have had operations before and am not normally an anxious person but i have problems with having things in /near my mouth (other than food obviously ) i have observed people having gastroscopies so i know the procedure well, which makes it even worse. The thought of it makes me gag.
Oh the shame....lol. I feel like such a wuss.
I guess its just another thing i'll have to overcome (but i bet i still have a good cry beforehand !)

Jayne I am sorry to hear your going through this. I am sure it will be over with quickly and if they sedate you they give enough for you to be responsive to their questions but you should not remember it afterwards. I hope it all goes well. Do you have someone to go with you?
Sarah and Liz are you both feeling better???
If so how about another get together soon so we can have a catch up where everyone is at?

PS The group session was good. My hubby went with me as he was home adn afterwards I asked him what he thought and he said it was all s**t as you still had to diet....... can you tell he has never dieted and has no weight problems. I could have hit him

 

[bypass.sarah]

hi jan, im still feeling a bit poorly, coughing well still, should be better soon.
its not good your hubby isnt supportive of this, hes probably feeling insecure in himself about the changes that will happen very quickly after your op, sounds like he wants to keep you as you are now just to make him feel better, dont let him sway your decision either way, you do this for you and only you, if he doesnt like it then tuff !

speak soon

liz x

 

[jjan3t]

I think you are right Liz. He keeps buying me bars of chocolate but I have put my foot down and chucked all the biscuits etc out of the house and told him he is eating the same as me lol. He will be fine when he needs to be I am sure.
Sorry to hear your still not well it's certainly hanging on

hes propbably insecure and doesnt want you to change as he will probably get jellous and think you will get more attention from other males which you will believe me stick to your guns its your body and your life not his x

me and sarah are here to support you through this even if hes not x

 

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

ps.. i pulled a 20 yr old at the take that concert ! :giggle:

 

[jjan3t]

Thanks Liz I will need lots of support to try and lose weight before my next appointment as my will power is useless.
Mr Small was telling us the staff is expanding and they are hoping to bring the waiting times down so that will be positive for all on the waiting list at Sunderland

 

[bypass.sarah]
