Hello @j0di0112
I want to join @lisalucier in welcoming you to Connect. As I read your post, it appears that you have had a colonoscopy, and I get the impression that there were some polyps. Is my understanding correct? Were the biopsy results from that normal?
It also appears that you will have an upper endoscopy (EGD) scheduled for January. I also feel that this might be a good time for a second opinion. Weight loss, combined with the high gastrin level, suggests to me that further testing is necessary, and the EDG might be best moved up sooner rather than later.
Where could you go for a second opinion? Mayo Clinic has three locations, and they would be an excellent place for a consultation. The appointment information for Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida can be found here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.
I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you post again with updates?

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @j0di0112. Sorry to hear about the 20 pounds lost in three weeks, confusing results and the lack of answers.
Are you feeling like you will get the answers you need this week on the 25th? Or are you considering getting a second opinion from another doctor?
