Almost Lost in the Fray

10/17 Upper Endoscopy.
10/21 Onset of menses.
10/24 Dad passed.
11/4 Office visit with ReproEndoGuy.

Pounds lost as of August appointment: 3
Pounds lost as of November appointment: 11

Result: ReproEndoGuy has rescinded discussion regarding gastric bypass, citing the weight loss over the last six months is, in his opinion, a trend, and not what I believe is a fluke as a result of the last three months of dad's hospitalization & his ultimate passing.

Next appointment: February 16th.

Results of endoscopy: Inconclusive. Everything photographed was pink, and biopsy came back clean, no cancer, no heliobacter pylorii. Just a little irritation. Will discuss with GastroGuy the idea of a colonoscopy, just to round things out, and rule out all other possible causes of distress and disorder.

Next appointment: December-ish.
