I get one done every year.  Last year, I had 2.  I always try to get scoped at both ends at once.   4951

Could use the name of a good gastroenterologist, hubby's brother died in his 30's from colon cancer and he's overdue for a check. I have passed the recommended age and am dreading it, I may need to take a cab to preserve my flower like status with hubby.
 
Did have an endoscopy, I needed more drugs and was gagging. Felt like 15 minutes, was probably 15 seconds before they increased my drugs.
 
@MarT:
 
I go to UT physicians at the med center. They may be a bit of a drive but they are well worth it.

@MarT: I actually switched this year to Dr. Sidiq at Kelsey-Seybold. He is at the main campus most of the time, but does come to the WLH Clinic on Wednesdays. I used to have Dr. Banker at Memorial Hermann, ever since moving here. He was good, but I wanted to use a K-S Gastro because all of our other doctors are through there. I'll let you know what I think of Dr. Sidiq after next week. He'll be my 3rd Gastro in 12 years, and they have all been gentle so far. Emoticon 
 
@BBQguy:
 
I have a friend who saw him not too long ago. She did not have a good experience to say the least. From lack of communication of her results to his complete dismissal of her symptoms and refusal to release her records to another Dr...the whole thing was a nightmare for her. He actually told her she was "a silly woman" who was making it all up because "she's a bored house wife". After her lawyer husband stopped in for a chat, her records were finally released. Hope you have a better experience. 4951

@taramay: Emoticon Well, that sucks! At least she got her results in the end.I don't see how any Dr. could screw mine up really. It's pretty much been the same since my 20's. Same procedures, diagnosis, treatments, etc.. The only thing that changes is which medicines I take. They don't like me to stay on Nexium too long at my age...It could cause major bone problems, so I cycle on and off of it. If it didn't work so good, I probably wouldn't use it at all.

@BBQguy:  I used to have acid reflux fairly regularly.  The doc put me on Protonix.  I had been on it for about 20 years when I started hearing about the potential negative side effects.  I tried stopping it, but the acid reflux rebounded even worse.  So I got back on it.  But I got a pill-cutter and went to 3/4 pill and stayed on that for about two months.  Then went to 1/2 pill for two months, etc.  until I was able to wean myself completely off.  Since then, I find I only have a little reflux if I drink alcohol and eat something real spicy or greasy late at night. The acid reflux was why I had an endoscopy along with the colonoscopy my first time.  My esophagus looked fine but he found a small spot in my stomach that was per-ulcerous.  He removed a sample for testing.  When tested, he found out that I had helicobacter pylori bacteria in large quantites.  It's one of those bacteria that most people have but most never have any trouble with.  I had been experiencing irritable bowel syndrome for several years before that.   He put me on a multi-pill regimen specifically for h pylori.   Since then, I have no problems with my bowels (except, you know, that one time I discussed in another thread)!

@Okiedokie: Make sure they do the upper first or else you'll have an awful aftertaste for the rest of the day.
