(17F)
I'm very nervous, I had an endoscopy yesterday (I have a fundoplication tomorrow, and I needed to do some tests before it) and they found several pinpoint erosions in my stomach

Im scared because i dont know how they even appeared, im on the blandest diet ever, i dont take any medications that can irritate the stomach and i eat every 3 hours

The only thing is, before the endoscopy, I didn't eat for 18 hours and I was very stressed (the last time I ate was at 7, the endoscopy was done at 1 pm the next day)

I hadn't eaten for so long and was nervous because I didn't even know there would be an endoscopy. They only told me when I arrived and made me wait, i hate this hospital:(

i just need support, im scared and i dont know what to do with these erosions, im scared that they would heal very slowly:(

so sugar is a trigger for a lot of people (me included) and i have a question for those who had surgery, are you able to eat sugar again? chocolate maybe? ice cream?

im doing fundoplication soon, and sugar had been my biggest trigger, so idk if i would be able to eat it again:(

EDIT: im talking about long term diet after surgery! like months and years after

Hi! I know this may sound stupid, but I really need other people's opinions (I have anxiety and OCD, and because of this, I often have strange fears that may even sound funny).

So, I'm having surgery soon (Nissen fundoplication) and I'm worried about whether I'll be able to play video games (like Fortnite for example) I haven't played for a very long time, precisely because of reflux, because these games give me a little stress from time to time (if you play, you know what I mean:))

I have this problem where if I get nervous, my symptoms can get worse. So, my question is:
will I be able to play after the surgery, and will it interfere with my rehabilitation? Like, if I get nervous while playing or something like that, will it be bad for my rehabilitation? Any advice?

Or if I really need to stop playing such games for some time after the surgery, then approximately how long?

any of you also play? I just need some reassurance, im overthinking it a bit too much, sorry if it sounded stupid:((!!

so im very often feeling like everything is too much, like im feeling too much emotions at once, too uncomfortable in my body, heart is racing for no reason etc.

it doesn’t feel like panic attack tho, more like everything is too much and i cant calm down, i tried breathing, listening to calm sounds, but it doesn’t work:(

what do you do when u feel like everything is too much? how to calm yourself?

I want to talk with someone who also had this surgery done, maybe it will calm me down:( im really nervous:( i just want some support, so feel free to message me if you also had this done!

I'm not really good at fortnite tbh😭 I played for a couple of months, then left the game for a long time, then came back again, but now I want to get serious about the game, and I want to try something new, like a controller, and I'm a little worried that it will be hard for me to aim, or that I won't like playing with a gamepad at all :( I'd be glad to hear any opinions!
