Darcy,
I just wanted to put your mind at ease. I had and still have the same symptoms as you. Fullness, etc. My doctor had me go in for an endoscopy. I was petrified. I didn't sleep at all the night before. Believe me when I tell you, I am the biggest baby when it comes to procedures like this. This was a piece of cake. They explain everything that they are going to do, and then they give you a medicine that relaxes you. You do not remember any of the procedure at all. All I remember is being in the room with the doctor and nurse, and then I was in the recovery room. Also, my results came back negative. He seems to think it has a lot to do with nerves. But, he has scheduled me for a motility study test which I have next week. It checks your swallowing and stomach muscles. Don't worry, it is not worth it. You will be laughing later on that day at how easy it was. Good Luck! Let me and everybody else know your results.
