Endoscopy Today

OK so I had my endoscopy today! I did well. I went to Westchester Medical Center in the Pediatrics and had Dr. Glassman. It was great there. Anyone who lives relatively close to Westchester Medical Center I strongly recomend going there! The nurses were great and so was the anesthieologist[spelling?]. But they were really awesome there. I was rolled in at about 9:00 this morning and they got tons of pictures of me before I was actually out. They put the IV in me and what they call "special milk" put that into the IV and in within a minute I was out and told my mom that she could leave. But the procedure only took 5 minutes and within 15 minutes when my mom left the room they came out and said she wants you to come in. I guess as soon as I came out I started asking for my mom...lol[i guess thats what you guess with being a mamas girl]. So she came in and was sitting there. And my lips were bothering me[still bothering me] so I asked for either vaseline or windex. They said why windex and I said because Windex fixes everything. My mom told me that I was still gone but I was responsive and my eyes were open. I came up with some funny words I guess and yeah but I don't feel any pain now so it was good.

Thanks everyone who helped me!

I'm glad it went so well! That's funny about the Windex. It does fix everything! It's great for getting spilled red Kool Aide off Grandma's white comforter, and for about any other stain on carpet (especially bird poop). You must have been thinking of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Glad it went well! Yep, apparently on my first scope I was pretty out of it in the recovery room. My mom said I asked the nurse (who was very patient with me, lol) the same question 3 times. Never did remember the answer, or even what the question was, but apparently it was important enough at the time for me to ask it three times (having not remembered that I already asked it). :lol:

How long before you know the results? I go for mine tomorrow.

It took about a week for mine to come back.

Hi Brittany! I'm so glad that everything went so smoothly. :)

After mine, the doctor came over to tell me a few things--as soon as he walked away, I forgot everything he said :ph34r: . I had to ask the nurse to see if he'd come back in and repeat what he had just told me.

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By DjinnDjab · Posted

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.
