I'm having surgery w dr frenzel on 27 th. I was very impressed at the time of consultation, he spent an hour n half w me explaining everything. Anybody else have pre op or post op suggestions for me?

ME! I was wondering if I was the only one. My surgery isn't scheduled until the Feb 22nd.

Oh wow!!! I am scheduled for this Friday. I am guessing you haven't started the pre op diet yet. I currently did the sleep study, blood work and x rays. I really liked the fact that he spent abt an hour w me for my consultation and last Friday we had a pre op visit and he spent another hour explaining everything to me.

Hi!! I'm new to the boards, but Im one of Dr. Frenzels patients.. I have one more dietician appointment before I can get my insurance approval. I'm starting to get nervous and have doubts? Is anyone else going thru that?

My surgery was scheduled two months before the actual date. Plenty of time to go through the range of emotions - from excited one minute to scared to death the other. Everytime I squeeze into my jeans (I refuse to buy a bigger size), I realize that I am making the right choice. I tell you, though, I am scared of not waking up and having a blood clot. But I am so excited about being in good health. When is your surgery date?

My surgery is this Friday, I'm getting an EGD done today. I'm a little stressed cas initially I though I didn't have to get the sleep study or stress test and all I needed to do was my blood work n x rays but last week when I went they threw all of this at me. On top of getting all these things none of them told me what the results were. So probably before my EGD if I get to see Dr C I'll probably ask what's going on. I've been lugging my weight for 15 years now so it's time to take it off.

I haven't gotten a surgery date yet, they told me I have to wait till my last nutrition appointment. I'm also very afraid that I won't wake up after surgery, but I'm so ready to lose to weight I have been putting my fears aside

Today I went for my EGD and it went pretty well. I was really uncomfortable initially cas my nurses were male, my anasthesiologist were male. They made me feel very comfortable. I have a new outlook towards male clinicians. My anasthesiolgist only poked me once to get an IV. They rolled me in explained everything step by step. Next all I remember was waking up in the ER. I will update u after my surgery on Friday.
