Went to the doctors appt today re: my EGD and colonoscopy results. Every thing came out normal, even the bioposies even though doctor told me back when EGD was done that my hernia was bleeding. Now he is saying that it's not. They made me get more blood work today. I have to set up an appt to swallow a capsule with a camera in it to go through the rest of my stomach and small intestine, but they have to see if the insurance will approve it or not. So basically we are back to square one.
Charity, I missed this, but what is your issue? GI issues? Like tummy stuff? Sorry to get nosy.
I hope the pill cam works! Sorry you're feeling crummy!
I was hospitalized in March was dangerously low iron levels and had to have 2 blood transfusions. I am bleeding out somewhere and they are trying to find out where. I have had 2 procedures already and they haven't found bleeding. So now they want to do the capsule to see if there is any bleeding in the small intestine so now the journey continues.

I know it can be really discouraging and stressful that they still don't know what's going on, but I agree that it's good they're ruling things out. I really hope you get some answers soon.
