I wasn't able to eat anything for most of the week. I was getting pretty weak an tired.
Went to the ER Friday swiftly got taken in for an Upper GI imaging, then straight to OR for
an Endoscopy. Which found the opening of my stomach was blocked.

Late to the thread, but thank God for emergency rooms. That's where the life saving gets done. That opinion comes from personal experience.

Due to their extreme exploring they found things I need checked out before really bad issues arise. Like the calcification on
my stents that I know will be the next thing I will have to get done.

Sorry you've had to go through this, and sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery. As others have said, be glad they caught it quickly. Please, please, please be thankful it was corrected.

My father had severe stomach pains right before Thanksgiving 2000. We took him to the ER, they did a sonogram and found nothing. The ER doctor released him, saying "try not to work out as hard". When we got him home, he started throwing up and couldn't hold down any food. We couldn't take him to a specialist due to the holiday. He passed away that Sunday due to a twisted bowel that could have been corrected. I won't go into all the details of how we found him laying on the floor outside the bathroom, but suffice to say it must have been one of the most painful deaths anyone could endure.

I am so sorry. I know by reading what you did share how hard of a memory that is and how if it had only been realized, how different it may have been. My dad ended up in a nursing home which I entirely disagreed with but I didn't have the say, I'd have done anything to take care of him and keep him out of one. It's awful seeing someone in pain or scared and so on. And it makes for very bad memories that are very hard to get past.
