coxyhog Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 13 minutes ago, tko said: I had that done 10 or so years ago, because I was munching on anti-acids all the time. After the camera job they just told me to take a omezeperole capsule everyday. No problems since then. I've been on Omeprazole for some years & didn't have any acid reflux for ages until about 5 or 6 weeks ago when I had quite a bad bout of it.Then 2 weeks ago the red stuff.Originally the GP said I didn't qualify for a quick gastroscopy because I wasn't losing weight & had no difficulty swallowing but he said he'd try his best to get me one.Well done GP. I last had one in Nov 2016 & had another due this Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I last had one in Nov 2016 & had another due this Nov. I was the exact same, Omeprazole stopped working if i ate anything after 5pm, even a packet of cheese and onion crisps would see me walking up in the night coughing with reflux. No good for a man that likes his spicy food like me. Went and got the scope again, and they confirmed again what i already knew, i had a hiatus hernia. The offered the Op to fix it, which i accepted, did the Op about 3 months later, been brilliant ever since, no more need for any reflux medication, spicy curried R US .... Great job NHS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I remember getting my hernia,in a new to me gym I saw a prone hamstring exercise machine,where you lie on your front & bring your legs up behind you.Hadn't been on one of those since my 30's & I was a tad overenthusiastic.Felt a tearing in my upper chest & some time later was coughing a lot so saw a gastroenterologist.He said 50% of the population have one & so that percentage must get higher with higher age groups. I'll enquire about an op if I'm ok on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll enquire about an op if I'm ok on Thursday. It's a keyhole Op, just 4 little incisions, i only have 2 small visible scars left now. I think 2 days in hospital in total, sent home with liquid painkillers, as you're kinda on a liquid/well mashed diet for a good few days. Actually lose a bit of weight. Wish i'd have got it done sooner TBH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Packing boxes, sorting stuff, selling some of it, the rest in the bin. No more storing shit. A few boxes will be shipped later. Many small things (the important stuff) will be crammed into the three large bags I will bring, other boxes shipped later. Hopefully I will be out of here for good by the first of the year. **** I lived (in LOS during Corona) for a year and a half away from "my stuff", never missed any of it. There are some things that you just have to hold onto. But 80 % can be forgotten. Life from here on out will be strictly minimal. And I am thankful for that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have I, and has been in the top 2 of places I want to visit for several years. Perhaps in a couple years, after I get myself properly situated, I can get myself to London for a proper viewing of your new van and then head to Prague for a few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Had the camera down my gullet today,third time I've had it & it doesn't get any nicer. The consultant said nothing to get alarmed about but took some biopsies & said get another gastroscopy in five years. But he did say that the GP put on the referral that I had vomited the blood up....I told him that I'd coughed it up during a bout of acid reflux.This guy says that if I coughed it up then it came from my chest so that should be investigated by a different department. @Krapow He said that I only have a small hernia & best to carry on with the Omeprazole. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
