Surgery scheduled 10/4. I am currently at the liquid phase. I went to the fair last night. (This was a killer...oh the food smells). I kept my mind on the goal. Losing weight and getting healthy! Living longer and doing more of what I love! Keep your eye on the goal and the path will be easier. God Bless!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've lost 8 pounds on preop! And that was before the liquid portion. I'm so excited. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Blood work came back good! Started the liquid diet today. Still nervous, but Tuesday will be here before I know it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I had mine done 18 years ago, I was 21. It was not bad. The gas pains were horrible and the fact that I let it go on too long and my liver and pancreas were affected probably made it worse.

@@lowbmi65 I had the endoscopy last Monday. Super easy! I had full general anesthesia though. Woke up, ate lunch, and went home. Was a little groggy for the rest of the day, but no big deal. Just seemed like I took a nap at the drs office. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
