So Thursday is looming when I go back in for another endoscopy, fingers crossed for no banding, I haven't experienced any bleeding for a while so I don't see why they should....
I have to say though, its a tough call between endoscopies and bone marrow biopsies as to which is the worst...I wouldn't with either of them on anyone.
Please tell me the endoscopies stop after transplant....
Best of luck hun xxx
Oh, I always go for sedation. Its the oxygen up my nose I find that makes me feel sick - I wish I could have it without oxygen. The teams that have completed them are pretty good at making you feel comfortable, this will be number 17 in 3 year and 4 months....so far 28 varicies banded...
I hope you don't need anymore x
I can confirm no endoscopies after transplant. Before transplant I probably had 6 over a 15 year period, never needed banding and I think a number of them were for coeliac disease. 17 is crazy, no wonder you're sick of them.
I was taking some drug usually used for blood pressure, name began with a p, but now forgotten. I did have varices but never needed banding.
Propranolol....yep got a tick on that one. Oh you made me happy that I can be left alone for a but! I'm hooding that have controlled it now and that this is just precautionary....I'm sure I'll let you all know how wicked 😉 they are xx
