The three day pre diet wasn’t as bad as I thought. Mine is tomorrow. I’m tempted to chicken out too.

How are the March ESG’s doing. Mine is tomorrow and I’m quite nervous. I have a 34 BMI and people are trying to talk me out of it
-
I hope all goes well tomorrow and you will have a speedy recovery! I'm the next day, March 15th!

I have an ESG scheduled for March 15, 2023. Crazy thing is I'm worried about giving up champagne. No bubbly, ever, seriously?
-
I'm going to have an ESG on Wednesday, 3/15. I'm taking off three days but hope to be able to work from home the following week and then go on a business trip, two weeks after the surgery. Am I being unrealistic about my expectations to return to work and travel?

If you had to go on a business trip at this point, would you do it? I may have to fly out for a couple of days from Texas to DC. Just wondering if I will feel well enough to do that. Also, trying to determine how much time off of work to take

ESG experience from hell
in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Posted
I am 5-6, 209lbs and on Wednesday, 3/15/23 I had an endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty aka ESG. I elected to stay over the first night and came home on Thursday, 3/16. I was in tremendous pain and could not keep Water down. On Saturday 3/8, I phoned an IV service to come and hydrate me. They couldn’t find a vein.
I knew I was need of emergent medics care so I called an ambulance. Shortly after arriving at the hospital, I was rushed into surgery and put into a coma. What my family learned is that my Bariatric surgeon had left a hole in my stomach and punctured my lung. My thoracic cavity was mixed with various fluids and I was slowly drowning as my lung capacity diminished
Days later they found another hole in my stomach and I underwent a third surgery to correct that. Had I not called the ambulance when I did, I would have died
Fortunately the hospital kept me fed and hydrated intravenously. Today is my first day home and I’m doing everything I can to sip enough water and Protein. I wonder if life will ever be the same for me
i have one more follow up procedure which I’m dreading. I deeply regret the decision to do this surgery, it almost cost me my like and the trauma is endless
