Hi,

I am going in for my scope tomorrow. I am not nervous, my doctor has not told me anything except don't eat or drink after midnight. Does anyone know how long it will last? Does my husband have to stay up there with me? Can I go to work afterwards? Thanks for all the info!!!!!!

Wish me luck!!!

Simply tired of fat!!!

I did mine yesterday. I was there a total of 2 hours. The actual test they said was 5 mins. So unless there are running behind I'd say have your husband wait there.

I was there 2 hrs. Yes hubby should go. You don't feel a thing. And probably can't go back to with you feel "lazy" all day cuz of the anesthesia. So after procedure wait an hour have some Soup and take a nice long nap.

It was fine. Although, I heard the anesthesiologist say that I stopped breathing during the procedure. When I came to and asked about that, they told me that is common with obese people. I actually woke up with a headache and had one for the next 3 days for some reason. I go in tommorrow to met the doc. I will have a surgery date when I get done. I am really excited.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
