Re: GERD/Acid Reflux and Emetophobia
I have GERD and a hiatal hernia, so reflux and regurgitation is a party of my daily life. I'm even convinced that if a non-emet had to go through the feelings I'm feeling on a daily basis, they would just let themselves v*. I have gotten really good at holding back v* and supressing gags. It totally sucks, and I am on meds for it, but I hate it. I am a candidate for surgery so I think I'm going to talk to my GI doctor about it. The only thing I am scared of is v*ing after the operation, because of the meds they'll give me.
I was diagnosed with all this stuff when I was 17. I've had 4 endoscopies in my life, and am prone to ulcers. I have had one colonoscopy (worse expereince of my LIFE) and had to do a barium test, drink contrast, eat some sort of egg sandwich with stuff in it so they could take pictures of my stomach. Let me tell you, living like this is NOT fun...but the surgery scares me. What am I supposed to do? LoL!
