Because the questions are different in every center in every state I had to take a 340 online question test that asked a lot of the same questions just in different ways to make sure I'm not suicidal, a alcoholic or a druggie. He asked about my past and who supports me what I know about the surgery and what the risks were. then a few papers with questions about eating habits. It's different for a lot of people. I did mine last month. My name is Ashlie as well

Mine started with my first dietitian visit

Congratulations!

I think very few people get sleep on the eve of their surgery. Good luck!

It depends on the surgeon. There's a few who won't do the surgery if you have a big hiatal hernia but I'm not sure about what you have. Most are repaired during surgery.

Hope you get better soon!

If you are under BMI of 40 or if your insurance requires you to have those. I have Oregon health plan and they require everyone to have diabetes.

My last appointment is November 26th and I too have to lose 20lbs. My dietitian hasn't put me on any diets yet.

Wls is a big life change. I'm sorry to hear that its causing problems try counseling.

So I'm told I will not be getting general anaesthesia ill be givin a sedative instead anyone else? What's it like? Lol I'm scared of being awake for this!

I started my 6 months last month and had my psyc eval last month. My endoscopy is scheduled for August 13th. My last appointment for the 6 months is November 26th!

Is it really so hard to lose after a year? And why?

It too it took you hours?

Also were you allowed to have someone in there with you or did they have to be in the waiting room?

So they can tell you the results or atleast some after you're done? Thanks for the feed back!

So are you awake and just completly out of it or are you asleep?

I had to put my first nut visit on hold cause my insurance had a mandatory drug test and on my surgeon/coordinator eval I had a few puffs off a cigar the day before anD no one told me about the test and that it also covered cotinine and nicotine so I had to come back in a week later then wait a week for the results. It sucks but it happens

I haven't my self but I have seen many who have.

My last appointment is November 26th and my surgeon wants me to lose 20 pounds

i have OHP plus which is trillium. I hear they are easy to work with but they have a extra hoop..not sure if you had to do it but I had to take a drug test at the beginning so they would cover everything. That included a nicotine test. It set me back a week cause the weekend before my appointment I had tried a little bit of my bfs cigar (not a smoker) so I waited till it was out of my system. Would have been nice if someone told me my insurance required that lol.

I'm going to a center of excellence in Oregon and they keep you two nights

thanks what insurance do you have?

yes I was there and remember you . Things are moving along smoothly I just got a call today to come in August and have a EDD done and then I got a call to see a hematologist as well. My last appointment with Erin is the 26th of November. Do you remember if you knock you out during your endoscopy or did you even have one?

It's possible to have a healthy baby but surgeons like you to wait at least a year. There are a few people on here who had accidents and were fine
