Recommended Posts

I have surgery tomorrow (Friday) at 7:30a.m. and I just realized that I haven't had an EGD... Is this normal?!

All doctors and insurance companies require different tests pre-op.

not necessarily. I had an EGD because he suspected I had a hernia--which I did and he was able to repair. Not everyone needs one. Good luck tomorrow!!! You'll do great. Be sure to take some socks...the rooms are COLD!!!

Did Dr Reilly do your surgery? Where did you have ur EGD? I'm in Texas now and they have me staying at the hotel but they did not tell me if I go to True Results or medical center

You go to True Results on Main. Go to the 8th floor. I also had my EGD done there in July and was banded in August at the same place.

Bless you!!!!!!! after crying my heart out the on call spoke actually got in touch with the doctor and he told me. I'm just an emotional wreck did this decision of getting the band have anybody else emotional like this days before the surgery?

Do you recall if they gave you a locker for your belongings? I have to take my suitcase because my ride is picking me up from there and I don't want them to tell me I can't have it there.

I did not have a locker but I'm sure there is a place they will let you put your suitcase. It only took about 20 minutes for the EGD to be done. Then I was in recovery for about 30 minutes. Good luck to you in the morning. Keep us posted!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
