Beebe, thank you for your response. After the procedure the doctor never mentioned anything about my esophagus or upper part of my stomach. He said the Gastric Antrum looked a little irritated so he was going to do a biopsy, it came back as mild gastritis/gerd. Some lady in his office called me 3 weeks after the procedure and said I had Barrett’s esophagus based off my report. The gastro doctor, my doctor, and my sister who is a clinical RN for a gastro office read the reports and never mentioned Barrett’s Esophagus. I asked my sister if it shows Barrett’s in my reports and she said no. The report said: z-line was regular and was found 39cm from the incisors. The exam of the esophagus was otherwise normal. The cardia and fundus was normal on retroflexion. Patchy mucosa in the gastric antrum (biopsy). The exam was otherwise without abnormality. I don’t get where this lady came up with that.
