No children, my mom says I am like her, stress makes me lose hair. Thats like a vicious cycle, you stress you lose hair, you see the hair loss you stress more >.<

I had my endoscopy yesterday, and I have had a slight sore throat when I swallow. This morning I decided to look in my mouth with a flashlight, and I noticed the same white stuff you get when you have tonsillitis, so I am wondering if it is tonsillitis or if its from the spray they used to numb my throat. (I did have tonsillitis like a month ago) Anyone else experienced this?

My dad is a doctor and has been working at that hospital for forever and a day, as long as I remember anyways =P. He was actually sitting behind the curtains but he knows the doc, and the doc called him up to see. He really didn't want to see, because I was gagging up a storm.

I used to get it alot as a kid. After not having it for 8 yrs, I had it last month and now. Thanks for the feel better =)

My dad confirmed it, its tonsillitis, again!!! So I can expect 2 injections for my behind any minute now. I had a sore throat yesterday but we thought it was cause of the tube, o well, I should be used to needles by now.

I don't remember a thing, my dad told me it looked like my eyes were rolling around the whole time.

Thanks for sharing! The last article was the most informative for me =)

I avoided the food funerals like the plague. About a year ago, I knew I was going up alot, and every Sunday I would say on Monday I will start a diet; then I would order pizza, too much pizza, and I wouldn't start the diet cause I had so much pizza left over. I did this for months. I know I gained a lot of weight, my scale wouldn't even weigh me. I just had no self control back then, and was afraid of repeating my past mistakes. But everyone is different, I just knew that food funerals were not good for me.

After the surgery, do people post-op take an acid reducer everyday?

Thank you for sharing, congratulations on you success!!! I love the part were you say God has removed the obstacles, Isn't God awesome? =)

What a great victory!!!! Your video has me crying tears of joy, and awe. God bless you and your children during this journey, and beyond!

My dad said I was nauseous during the exam but I don't remember it. It was lights out for me.

Tomorrow at 7am I am having my endoscopy, finally! I must say I am a little nervous, something going down my throat to my stomach makes me gag just thinking about it. Anyone else has had this done?

I just woke up from mine. I went to the hospital at 7am, the paperwork was about 1 hr, then like 30 mins waiting for the anestheologist. The last thing I remember was the anestheologist asking what they were giving me. My dad tells me a gagged alot, but I dont remember a thing. I don't know how I got off the bed and onto the wheelchair. All I remember is getting on my dads truck to come home, and getting off at the house. It was kind of funny t my house cause he kept telling me open your eyes, open your eyes, if you fall I can't pick you up, and I kept saying they are open! Dad laid me on my bed and I woke up at 3pm. I have a slight throat ache, I imagine its cause of the tube. I am glad I don't even remember seeing it.

did they ask you to bring a towel?

I think you are right

I started taking vitamins as soon as I started loosing weight, they would go down easy: however, since I started my pre-op liquid diet every time I take them they hurt my stomach. Its the same vitamins from before, its actually the same bottle! Has anyone experienced something like this?

Thats my type of meal! I just know I'm going to be stuck cooking 2 separate meals, for my family and for me.

Not 100% sure, but that sounds like the slime people post-op talk about. As far as I have read, certain foods cause this, and its different foods for everyone.
