Hi everyone

brief history. Diagnosed with gerd several years ago after years of suffering & a diet rich in tums. After prilosec & all of the other meds quit working, now on aciphex 2x a day. Had a post-op illius (hysterectomy on the 14th of january) back on january 18th. Resolved with medical intervention within 36 hours. Hospitalized with nausea & vomiting from the 18th - 31st of january. Still having problems with nausea & vomiting. Dr has me on reglan, aciphex & zofran. Stomach emptying was a 35 & upper gi showed moderate gerd. Ct scan was pretty much normal. Anyway, saw g.I. Dr yesterday for the first time. Ordered the 2 procedures for next week to see if we can find out what is going on. First of all, does anyone have any light as to what it sounds like it could be? Stomach feels like it is in my throat most of the time now even though I do everything I am supposed do when it comes to treating the gerd (staying away from fatty foods, etc). Also what should I expect from these procedures? He is doing both under twilight sedation. I am concerned about my "gag" reflex, but he assured me that they have stuff for that. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
tara
