Thanks for your kind words. I started with gastro. I've had every tests there is, colonoscopy, Endo, Barium swallow, and others. I've been told I have IBS-C, which I believe I do so I follow the low fodmap diet and it helps. Another gastro told me it was constipation causing my stomach pain and weight loss. The third gastro told me it was Eosinophilic gastroenteritis. It was the Mayo clinic Gastro that was concerned about the extreme weight loss and ordered the CT Angio and U/S, then referred me to the vascular surgeon. I was praying that this would work. When they were doing the ultrasound, that's right where the pain was, right where that celiac artery would be. It has to still be the cause of my weight loss and pain. I just need a fix!! I have my post op appointment Friday. Hopefully there will be something good to come from all of this that can help. I'm surprised they didn't send you to gastro first. Hopefully they will get to the bottom of your health issues and help you ♥️
