Hi Kari, Well had the vascular surgeon appt and went over results. Imaging showed something with celiac artery, but sma was ok. Tues. I am going for the invasive angio. If he needs to do something he will do it then. Also he said that the stent in the celiac didn't go far enough into the aorta so was thinking of possibly extending that. If this doesn't help with symptoms we will discuss the celiac block like you had said. I did email him today though asking about extending the stent, and if so would that be recovery like when stents were done. I had a hematoma so that caused more time in the hospital, but otherwise I think only a 2 night stay. As for the fodmap diet, well I am going to put that off till we see what is going on with my arteries. If he does do something I want to be clear on what hopefully helped symptoms. I am also taking a 'break' from the testing after this for a bit. This is exhausting as you know.

Overwhelming but good news! This could be the opportunity for some relief, It sounds like your vascular surgeon is on top of this. I will be thinking of you, invasive procedures are never fun, and they can be stressful. Hang in there, you got this!
