Hi there:

I just finished with everything yesterday, actually. I had the EGD a couple of weeks ago, and that went fine. It was totally painless, and I actually got the best sleep I've gotten in a long time when I got home!

The meeting with the nutritionist was eye opening to say the least. That's the first time anyone gets into specifics about the diet, including the two week pr-op liquid diet. I admit, I was pretty freaked out by all of the restrictions and everything but after a few days of thinking about it and evaluation, I still decided to move ahead. In the end, I just want my life to revolve around life, not around food.

I completed my psychological evaluation yesterday. I am seeing my own therapist so that my insurance will cover it (I'm self pay for the procedure)and I plan to continue to see him after the surgery. Let me know if you have any other questions, or anything else. I'll keep you posted!
