Second Endoscopic Dilatation




Pictures: First thats the view from the camera when its going down your throat. Second picture thats the actual devise they stick down your throat and the balloon thats used. Third picture the first two diagrams illustrate what I had done.

Alright so on Friday I went to the hospital thinking that I didn't have anything to worry about that my procedure would happen painless and quick....I WAS WRONG. This time I wasn't asleep when everything happened. They stuck the camera down my throat while I was awake and they starting blowing up the balloon when I was awake. It hurt so bad I was actually crying. I remember the doctor telling me and now we are blowing up the balloon and then I must have passed out. I woke up and for some strange reason I was still crying lol. After Dr. Huynh talked with me and he said he thinks this will be the last one I will have to have done. Which was great news after the painful event that I had just been through. Also he noticed my stomach is very irritated so I have to take some meds to make it better.

Well I got to say that this was the worst part so far about my entire weight loss journey. It was really scary and painful. Its now Sunday and my stomach is still sore but I had some rice and chicken yesterday and that was GREAT!!
