I had mine done last week and it was the best sleep ever. Just took 5min and it was all done. Had a little sore throat but went away fast.

Good Luck :)

How long we're you there? Zdid it take all day? A couple of hours? I know the 6 ladies that was at the intake appointment will also be there to get theirs and my husband has an appointment later in the afternoon.

I was only at the surgical center for 2 hours. The EGD took to minutes, I had a little site throat after but it was gone within 12 hours. It was not bad at all

Thanks! I was worried my husband would have to take a day off and he's already being sequestered one day this week.

I had one on my birthday!!! It made me so confident about the surgery since I had to be put to sleep and I was nervous about that part. It was a piece of cake. The sleep felt so refreshing. Mine took about 20 minutes from start to finish.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
