bigkim 109 Posted March 18, 2012 Did you guy's get an upper GI or scope prior to your exam? If so did the results show a blockage? My upper GI showed a blockage and I have to get a scope done. The nurse said everyone is required to get the scope before having the sleeve. I am scared. Thanks for you input. BigKim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tbrendon 36 Posted March 18, 2012 The scope is the final thing I am waiting for before I can schedule my surgery.....and my doctor made it sound very normal. He just wants to make sure there are no surprises when he gets in there while doing the surgery. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
favoredone 590 Posted March 18, 2012 Yep, I had to have a scope before my surgeon agreed to sleeve me.. They give you good drugs, so you'll be fine!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liberated Sleeve 148 Posted March 18, 2012 Yep, they knocked me out for mine. Don't remember any of it. They are looking at your esophagus and stomach to see if any problems before they go in to do surgery. Most of us had one done before surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimmyGotSLEEVED 270 Posted March 19, 2012 Same here. I was nervous also but the doctor knocked me out with a few meds and when I awoke it felt like nothing happened. Easiest test in the world. Btw I'm referring to the upper Endo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
