Update on test results

Tuesday March 18th I had a Colonoscopy and EGD test done. I was only allowed liquids the day before and the medications to clean out my system. The day of the test no food or liquids. They took pictures of my intestines and some biopsies. I do not have cancer or an ulcer. There is redness and swelling and he said I have a fast moving colon. It is called irritable bowel syndrome. He gave me some medication to help. I still need to watch what I eat treating this like an ulcer. I do not however know the results for the ultrasound test. I was told by Dr. Shafi that it would be okay to proceed with the MGB surgery, but need to get it in writing and put it in my packet.

Hey Brenda --
Despite the curve balls thrown at you, I'm glad to see that things are still moving forward towards the MGB. Keep us updated.
