Just in case anyone wants to know, I am going in on Monday for one of these. I've been anemic for a while now, so now I'll find out what's what. Wish me luck!

Also, after Christmas I am going in for a biopsy, I may need a hysterectomy.

DG: I keep telling people I am getting old on the inside, and staying young on the outside. I think of you every time I say it.

VV, since you've been anemic for a while, it's good that you are having this done. Please let us know. We'll be thinking of you.

VV, I will be thinking about you and praying for you.

VV I'll be thinking about you Monday, and hoping that everything goes smoothly...take care of yourself (((hugs)))

I'm glad to see you are taking care of yourself. Many people just put things off until the symptoms are worse. I know it sucks to go in but you are doing the right thing by taking care of it now. We need you to be healthy! I'll be thinking about you on Monday. Everything is going to be ok.

This procedure is fairly routine, so I am sure you will come through it with flying colors.. and have some good information about your condition in the bargain.

Good luck to you.

Hello! I'm still here, so everything went okay. They found one polyp and removed it.

They took a biopsy of my stomach lining, and said I might have H. pylori bateria. For right now I am taking Prilosec. I wonder if it's stress or something I am eating. If it is a matter of diet, then I'll be able to go on a medical diet, and my problems are solved. If it's stress, I'm in big trouble, since this is an easy time of year at work. Somebody shoot me now!

Thanks for your prayers, it was so much easier since I knew you were thinking about me. I wasn't really nervous, I don't want people to forget about me. The tough part was not eating for 24 hours. I like to eat!

Also, I would never wait for something that is wrong to get worse. I'd be an even bigger baby about it. I'll let you know what happens next week.

I am so glad that things worked out well for you!

Unfortunately stress isn't always what is obvious, you can be or get stressed about things you hadn't realized DID stress you.

Keep taking care of yourself!
