Are you doing better now?

Hi everyone. Had my EGD yesterday (which was awful-I woke up during the procedure) and the doc found that I had gastritis and esophagitis. Now I am wondering if I should have the sleeve surgery done. My last appointment before surgery with my surgeon is later this month. I do not want the RNY. Also, I had to see an internal medicine doc for a physical and he wants a sleep study done. I cannot fathom sleeping in a strange place being hooked up to wires with people watching me sleep. The idea freaks me out. I thought if I had sleep apnea that it would go away after losing weight so it would then be a non-issue. He told me that people with sleep apnea generally have it even after WLS. HUH? Does the machine make you depend on it by using it? I guess I have to do some research on sleep apnea.

I ALWAYS have to get up to pee during the night-one or two times. How does that work being hooked up to a bunch of wires? Thanks!

Thanks to all of you so, so much. It is so comforting to read your comments and all of the info that you share on here. I hope I can eventually return the favor for others.

Thank you for commenting Croaker!!

Waiting to hear from you!!!!!!!!! Hope all is well.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! (I think a lot of women would have liked to sell their husbands at one time or another during their marriage--me included)

I'm so happy that you're ok......wishing you a speedy recovery!!!!!!!

I've tried the chocolate EAS AdvantEDGE---it was ok. The Premier Protein chocolate is really good. I bought the vanilla but haven't tried it yet. I need to find an unflavored protein to add to meals still.

I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. Mine is supposed to be done February 3. I hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!!
