I just had mine done yesterday. It was very easy..they sedate you so much that you dont remeber anything until you are done. Make sure though that you have some food around the house that is light. My stomach has been irratated and full of gas, I have taken a lot of tums and gas x strips. My throat was barely sore though. So pretty easy stuff. Good luck!

I have mine done on march 27th an I am nerve city over here!!! Would love to here some experiences!!!

I was so nervous before getting mine. It was so easy and quick. After it was over I couldn't believe I was such a stress case over it. I felt fine after it. No sore throat, I was hungry and went home and ate. My husband said I was pretty mellow and funny telling the nurses it felt like I was daydreaming but not asleep. Didn't remember a thing.

I had mine done two months ago and it was easy peasy. I was nervous and worked up in the waiting room and when they got me hooked up to all the IV's and then wheeled me down the hall. But when I got in the room and they started the meds that sedate you I started to feel high as a kite and euphoric...lol The last thing I remember is feeling REAL good and thinking to myself "Oh Yea" lol and then I was out. The only thing I remember was coughing as the scope went down and that's it. When I came out of the sedation I was groggy for the rest of the day but overall it was super easy and nothing to be scared about even in the slightest. You'll do fine. :)

      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.
