I too had a gastroscopy yesterday . 
I have got things wrong and they took biopsies of the middle and lower osephages . 
They said the results will be back within 2 weeks . 
your results seem along time . 

Yep. Don't hey me wrong in 2 weeks I'll call up my surgury and see if they have some results for me.

8 weeks is crazy. I understand its not urgent. But still. That's mad. I know having Barrets dosent mean cancer. But higher risk of it. Do you have acid reflux or a Hiatus Hernia? 

Hi. Is the pain around your belly button?. Or lower then that?. If so. I can tell you what that is. Yes that's acid reflux. You're eating something you shouldn't be atm. Try and find out what it is. And the pain should stop. Also r u on ppi?. (omeprazole etc). I'm going to give it another 2 weeks. And then give my surgury a call up. And see what they say. They might have got it by then. So I'll find out then.

I've never heard of that myself. Maybe they want to be sure what it is. That's why they want to give it another week. 

Fingers crossed it comes bk fine. I know if I have Barrets. That dose not mean its cancer its just a higher risk of it. Its like pre cancer cells. Etc. I've all rdy been told if I have it. There's still only a small chance of getting cancer. But it dose mean I'll have to go on what's called a "survalence" programme. Every year or more I'll need a enscopy to monitor it. But will see how it goes when I get the results bk. I'm trying to not worry about it to much. But it is at the bk of my mind. 

Yes I do have reflux . 
I wasn't diagnosed with a hernia . 
I have gastritis . 
The oesophages diagnosis is portal hypertensive gastropathy . 
4 biopsies taken . 
stomach portal hypertensive gastropathy . 
we had to look these up and it sounds worrying . 
It says it can be caused with alcohol . 
ive never smoked or drink . 
Feel very confused at the minute and I'm tempted to ring to see before the 2 weeks to explain the diagnosis .
 

The pain I get is in the centre of the breast bone.  I was put in Omeprazole before Christmas but I do not intend to continue.  Amongst other things it is linked to osteoporosis.  What concerns me is I have the polyp at the entrance to the duodenum therefore the polyp will be making it difficult for food and the acid to pass down.

My best case scenario will be this polyp is pre cancerous or benign.  Possibly I will need regular monitoring too.

Hopefully you will let us all know how you get on.

They checked my stomach. That hiya all clear. But they did so a biopsy for just a ulcer. (witch would mean gastritis).

Hmm. Medication you've been on?. Only other thing I can think of. That makes sense. 

I know . 
I hope you get your results soon . 
 

Hi. Ah I get that it feels horrible. Do you get it constantly?. I'm on omeprazole. It was helping me. Had to come off it due to having the test done. It was helping me. Now I am having to wait for it to kick bk in. Fingers crossed you get a good result.

O don't worry I most certainly will do.
