Endo at 1pm, Class at 6pm? Possible?

Well, I’m a bit upset with my surgeon - she now says she needs an endoscopy before she'll operate on me. And since surgery is 5/16, it has to be right away.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

So I’m scheduled to arrive at hospital at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:time Hour="13" Minute="0">1pm</st1:time>, for an endo procedure a bit later than that I assume. They didn’t give me the procedure time, just the hospital arrival time.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

And since this is last minute, I have already scheduled 3 days off to attend a sewing conference held here locally, and I have classes in the morning, afternoon and evening on Friday. So now I have to miss some of these classes, and I’m trying to figure out which ones.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

I know I’ll miss the afternoon class, as it starts at <st1:time Hour="13" Minute="0">1pm</st1:time>, but I’m wondering about my class at <st1:time Hour="18" Minute="0">6pm</st1:time>.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

Can anyone tell me if you had an endoscopy around 1pm or <st1:time Hour="14" Minute="0">2pm</st1:time> in the afternoon, how you felt by <st1:time Hour="18" Minute="0">6pm</st1:time>? Well enough to attend a class (my husband would drive me, I know I’m not supposed to drive). What about operating heavy machinery (sewing machine) - I’m assuming probably not?<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

I'm thinking that I'd like to at least go to the class and take some notes, and not do any sewing (or have my husband do the sewing), so I at least get some info out of it.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

Am I totally off base, and won't feel like doing anything at <st1:time Hour="18" Minute="0">6pm</st1:time> following an afternoon endoscopy??<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

Thanks for your help!!<o:p></o:p>

I've had a couple of endoscopies. You might feel tired, but with your husband driving, you should be okay to attend classes that afternoon.

I had my endoscopy yesterday 5/1 at 10:30 was out by 12 and felt totally fine the rest of the day. I left hospital and went grocery shopping. Everyone is different I am sure. Good luck!!!!:confused:

I have had them and then gone back to work. Some have problems a day or two later when the barium wants to leave the body. :confused: Drink plenty of Water, let your husband drive, and you should be fine.

I had a pretty bad sore throat and of course, the medication takes alot out of you. Not sure I'd schedule anything. Can you make that decision after you see how you're feeling??

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
