I heard from the GI doc on Wednesday on my results. I told them to call me on my cell so I could walk away from my desk away from co-worker’s ears but he called me at my desk phone.
He said I did great. I have a hietal hernia which he seemed to imply that that is no big deal and that I had some irritation that checked out ok. Nothing to worry about, just keep taking the Prevacid indefinitely. He said my insurance might want to pursuad me to take Priolec OTC since it is over the counter. I told him that wouldn’t be cool since the company I work for makes Prevacid.
After we hung up I remembered a few questions I had so I went out to my car with the cell and called him back. He doesn’t think I need to come back for another GI for at least 10 years. The irritation will go away if I keep taking the meds.
I got up the nerve to ask him my wacky question about the fact I haven’t thrown up in nearly 25 years and that I suspect that my throw up thingy is broke since the times I was sick with the stomach flu I couldn’t bring anything up just dry heaved. He seemed a little annoyed with my question and said that was nonsense, if the body needs to vomit it will. I must of had an empty stomach.
I don’t believe that this is case, I still think something is broke and I will get it figured out.
