Congratulations on your surgery date. Our journeys through this will be close- my sugrery date is Aug 21st! -
I feel kinda silly posting this but here goes- did the EGD( upper endoscopy) bother anyone. I am a nurse and have been with pts during EGDs but hello I wasn't the patient!!! As long as I have drugs I think I will be okay but I am not excited about that tube going down my throat!!
-
Well the EGD was a piece of cake! I don't remember a thing....thankgoodness! Thanks for all your support

Thanks Maldito- I know I will be sedated but still not real thrilled about having it done! It's tomorrow so it will be over with soon

Surgery Date!!

Thanks Susan and VA! I know this is the perfect thing for me, but as a nurse I tend to think too much about the complications. Sometimes knowledge is trying on the mind! -
mmmmm...... what breathe would that be? Haven't heard about that

Do most of you tell friends,family or people at work about having WLS or do you keep it private. I guess they will figure it out but not sure how many people I want to know about it in the early stages. What did you do?

I am just glad to hear you can drink coffee after surgery!!!! I really enjoy my morning coffee time (the computer and my coffee cup). Someone told me my taste may change after surgery, and I may not like it anymore. I would be fine if my taste for some things changed but I do enjoy my "coffee time" ..... I guess it could be "Protein time instead"
-
What is your typical exercise routine? How often? How strenuous? How soon after surgery can you start? Questions Questions Questions? Thanks for your help

Is the sleeve a second WLS surgery for most?
attitudefree posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In reading it seems like the sleeve is the second WLS for a lot of people. Have any started out with the sleeve as their first surgery?
