An endoscopy is where they stick a tube with a camera on the end down my throat to see if I have a hernia or ulcer or something. It's more invasive than an upper GI. I have bad acid reflux so they want to make sure I'm ok before surgery. My list is:

-papaya enzyme - it helps when/if food gets stuck (trader joes)

-pineapple juice - it also helps break down food when/if it gets stuck

-liquid tylenol

-gas-x strips

-cocoa butter lotion to help reduce scars and stretch marks

-mederma - reduces scars

-heating pad - good for healing as it will help relieve gas pain

-protein shakes

-protein bullets (3oz of liquid that have 42g of protein)

-colace - stool softener since we will be plugged up and it will hurt to use the br.

-pillow for the car - nice to buffer your tummy from the seatbelt

Let me know if you can think of other things I missed but that is my list!
