Holy cow. I woke up with a feeling like I have a giant hole in my stomach. It hurts so bad. I'm sure it was not helped by the pain relief I took in the middle of the night. Not looking forward to this test, but have to get this done.

 

what is the best over-the-counter type medicine when you have a tummy problems? I have taken alleve in the past, but my doctor said Tylenol is better. I'm already taking enough Tylenol in the oxycodone.

damn IAG, very sorry to hear but you really need to get to the bottom of this and thankfully it seems that you are finally starting to realize that.  Do not let fear stop you from getting to the root of the issue.

Had one maybe 10 years ago.

 

Remember them telling me to count down and next thing I knew I was waking up in some recovery bed. Started to kinda freak out and got up and started getting dressed. Doc came and talked to me (had bleedig esoNon heterosexual person eal ulcer) and said I needed to be wheeled chaired out. Apparently I didn't like that and tried the fight a male attendant and a male nurse. They wheeled me out to my moms car and kicked their wheelchair across the street and told the guy pushing me to fuck off.

 

Procedure itself is no biggie , I just don't respond well to anesthesia.

 

I wonder how you respond to a kick in the balls... hide the AR15sssss

Good luck IAG

 

I had one when I was 22, wasnt a big deal, but porbably cause Im used to weird shit, and they put me out.

 

I had bleeding after drinking and partying, basically woke up and had dry blood in my mouth/shirt. Or woke up and had an ugly cough with blood on it... that was after I accidentally poisoned myself. Back then I used to do a lot of acid and shrooms, so one day I go tripping with a friend and 3 acquaintances... one of them had a ziploc of "prepared shrooms with condensed milk", me and my best friend downed, i had probably 70% of the bag, my friend 30%.

 

Fast forward 2 hours we are puking and shitting blood nonstop while trippin', a bad trip from hell. We manage to get out of the mountain and take a cab, had to ask the cabbie to stop 2-3 times to puke more blood. At one point he says he will take us to the ER cause obviously we are intoxicated on drugs and I tell him fuck you, you take me to the ER you can pay the fare yourself, he drops us at my apartment.

 

I proceed to call in sick for work and puke/shit blood for the 2 days more, refuse to go to the hospital and get my tummy pumped. After that I get stomach pains fairly easy... lactose intolerant on top (wasnt before to that)... after that episode the bleeding stopped for a week or two and then again it started when I drank too much. Doctors said the poison basically "melted" the walls of my stomach.

 

Never accept drugs from idiots, folks.

any updates, IAG?

No, test Is tomorrow. I am not particularly worried about what they find, although maybe I should be, but more about the procedure. I just can't wait for it to be over with!! I'll probably feel stupid once it's done like it was not a big deal, but reading about it doesn't sound pleasant...at least it will be done finally. I canceled the last one because it was my dog was sick. This way it goes toward my 2017 deductible also.

Thanks all. I'm ok. I'm not sure what part of that sedation was "conscious, "because I was completely out. I don't remember much accept anesthesiologist talking about Propofol, and me asking if that wasn't what killed Michael Jackson. I seemed to be preoccupied with Michael Jackson for a minute or so. Procedure was as most of you said, it was pretty easy because I was out.

 

Worst parts..

...convincing nursing staff that it was not necessary for a urine test to prove I was not pregnant.

 

Difficult time getting IV in due to my small veins

 

UNRELENTING headache for all of last night which apparently is related to the anesthesia wearing off.

 

Awkward moment when hospital staff asked me in front of my neighbor (who had driven me) about my history of narcotic addiction and whether I was on narcotics at that moment.

 

Other than that, it was better than expected. He took two or three biopsies, and will know something in a week or so. I fully expected an ulcer, but he did not see evidence of that I guess.

 

There was a guy on the other side of curtain who is talking loudly about the casino and his comps...definitely a gambler. I wanted to yell out to him to throw some bones on Team Ruff!!
