Just got back from the surgery center. Had an upper endosocopy this morning to make sure my insides are okay after being bulimic for so long as well as taking an unhealthy amount of painkillers

Good news is that there wasn’t any extreme damage, thank God.

Bad news is that I’m on yet a nother medication for the next 8 weeks because they found a lot of inflammation along my esophagus and small intestine, as well as some internal bleeding and erosion in the stomach. They took a tissue sample from the eroded areas so I’m waiting to get the results of that back from pathology.

Right now I’m super tired because of the sedatives they had me on, and my hand is kind of numb from the IV they had stuck in me for like an hour. Throat hurts, but that’s to be expected from the huge tube they had to cram down my throat.

Pro Tip: Treat your body well because you need this thing to last you a lifetime. I got lucky in that my esophagus didn’t suffer permanent scarring like it does for many people recovering from bulimia. Of course there is still damage, but it’s treatable and in a couple months my esophagus and stomach should be good as new.

So yeah. Take good care of your bod. It’ll thank you with a life of much less physical pain and health bills.
