rholio 339 Posted October 18, 2017 I get to play catcher tomorrow morning for my colonoscopy. Figure I'll let everyone gets head start on the jokes. Seriously though, something's wrong. I've lost 28lbs since the start of September. I've got a constant stomach ache that started months ago and gets worse all the time. I'm to the point I pretty much hate everyone and everything. Scope tomorrow, hopefully they find what the problem is, and there's a fix for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rholio 339 Posted October 18, 2017 Good luck man. Have they tried an upper and lower GI? Not yet. Did get to get x-rays today, don't have a clue what they'd be looking for though. I think they're just worried I'll still own anything when they're finished with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rholio 339 Posted October 18, 2017 Made it home a couple of hours ago. No polyps, one "mass" found that they're doing a biopsy on. Next test is a C-Scan, since my wallet wasn't on the x-rays. The doc did confirm the mass wasn't a lost diIdo or cucumber, before anyone asks. On my period now, passing blood for the last 2.5hrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,759 Posted October 18, 2017 My GrandFather had that. Pushed away from our Dining Room Table. Died of an Aneurysm in his Tum-Tum before we got him to the couch. Then I'm pretty sure he shiit the couch. It was hideous anyway. Probably did it good to have a RoarShiit test on it. You should probably avoid our Dining Room Table.

Less blood each time, so nothing to really worry about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike 4,802 Posted October 18, 2017 Why are you losing weight? No appetite? I lost 35 pounds during my bout of diverticulitis a few months back. I hope you don't have that. It doesn't sound like it; the pain would be much worse than you described based upon my experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthernVike 2,082 Posted October 18, 2017 Had my third one this year. They took two samples and I got the results back today that they were benign. They removed a foot of my colon in March. I had diverticulitis. Unlike strike, I had no pain. They tell me I'm good now for ten years. Good luck man, it's no fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the test that will identify diverticulitis. I don't think anything you've had done so far will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,165 Posted October 19, 2017 Gee... thanks. I would think that a CT is cheaper than a colonoscopy, so they would have tried the CT first if they thought it was diverticulitis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthernVike 2,082 Posted October 19, 2017 At this point, I'm wondering if it's cancer. I went into surgery not knowing what was wrong. They were unable to get into the structure in my colon to get a sample to test for cancer so they aproched my surgery as if it was. I got lucky that it was only diverticulitis.

penultimatestraw 473 Posted October 20, 2017 I would think that a CT is cheaper than a colonoscopy, so they would have tried the CT first if they thought it was diverticulitis. Correct on both counts. Weight loss + intestinal mass isn't a good combo. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
