I saw Dr. Arbabi in August 2018. I told him I had a bad pain around the 4th July and it felt like something had gotten stuck in my gut (literally). My other symptoms were that I had a lot of coughing and sometimes (infrequently) swallowing issues. He suggested I have an endoscopy and colonoscopy. As I was 63, I thought this was a good suggestion to check everything out. He gave me Pantorprazole for a few weeks ahead of time...didn't check what these affects could have, but seemingly they reduce the acid producers in your stomach among other things and I still suffer what what that entailed. I didn't need this and it has, to this day disrupted my entire digestive system! I'm sure they will have a more scientific rendition, but my life has completely altered since the procedure. Had both endoscopy and colonoscopy in September and all seemed well. He recommended I continue with the Pantropozole for a while after (can't remember how long) and when I came off it...guess what? I HAVE THE WORST CASE OR GERD anyone can image. MY LIFE HAS TOTALLY CHANGED...oh did I mention, he told me he put an unguided scope down my Esophagus and utilizing an UNGUIDED balloon apparatus, widened my esophagus? How much? We don't know? Will other Gastro Docs. tell me? I've been seeing another Gastro Doc. and he just keeps giving me Rinatidine, Prilosec and FINALLY antidepressants to DEAL WITH WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO ME! I CATEGORICALLY STATE THAT I NEVER HAD GERD BEFORE THE PROCEDURE AND NOW ITS LIKE ITS BEEN UNLEASHED AND I HAVE TO PERMANENTLY SLEEP SITTING UP, NOT TO MENTION I CAN NEVER HAVE ANY GERD RELATED FOOD OR DRINK...IT HAS ALTERED MY LIFE AND SIGNIFICANTLY RUINED IT...ABSOLUTE MALPRACTICE!!!
