I live about 90 minutes from my doctors, and i had them schedule all my appoinments the same day. I had the 3 month of psyche, phys therapy, dietician and my surgeon....would just take one day and knock em out. Dont know if thats something you could do as well.....but your getting there, good luck!

Hey there.. I have one more visit with my surgeon before my surgery next month. I asked her tuesday if she does the swallow test, in which she said she doesnt...she explained that she uses the drain to watch for certain fluids the 2 days after the surgery, to let her know there is a leak..she hasnt ever had a leak, knock on wood....she had stated that she didnt like to make patients go thru that nasty tasting berium swallow since we would already be tortured enough with a month on liquids.....i was just wonderign what you guys thought..im happy shes leak free, but maybe that sense of knowing would be worth the bad taste/experience.....i also dont have to do an endoscope either...so just wondering if anyone else has these same things from there surgeon...thanks in advance

Thanks guys...i trust her.....im sure she will keep an eye on it...i know i will be looking for any symptoms for sure...

Finally. Surgery in 5 or 6 weeks, can't come soon enough

Sorry, nothing too exciting to read here, but anyone tried the protein shake called Oh Yeah! Yet? 32 grams of protein in one. Its not too bad. Lactose free as well.

Good luck! I'm a month or so out on my journey, having it done at Mercy. Have done 2 rounds of the nut, p.t., and Psyche.....fun fun....good luck from a fellow St.Louis native.

Columbia Illinois here.....I'm about 2 months from my sleeve. Having mine done by Dr. Hawver ay Mercy......

St.Louis here as well.....best of luck tomorrow!
