I am scheduled for an endoscopy and bravo capsule. It was supposed to be next week but they moved it to mid Sept. While I tried to come off PPI last week, I ended up in the ER Sunday evening. The nausea, vomiting and pain was intense. It was so awful! I’m really not wanting to even to the bravo capsule at this point.

I have a large hiatal hernia- most of my stomach is involved. It’s crazy to me it’s not ‘obvious’ that I have intense acid reflux. The Dr said I could do Pepcid twice a day until 3 days before. They didn’t tell me that last week which was annoying. Felt like I suffered for nothing.

I have manometry scheduled in a couple of weeks.

Has anyone been able to argue a case for surgery without the bravo capsule?
