So, I have an upper GI scope scheduled for tomorrow morning. My Dr. scheduled it because I have really bad reflux. He wants to make sure I don't have any issues that would prevent me from having the sleeve done. So...to get to the point...

I woke up with (what I think is) a sinus infection or maybe just horrible allergies... I am not fevered, as of right now. Do you think they will still do the scope?

I know only the hospital/dr office will know for sure, but there isn't anyone in until tomorrow for me to ask. So, I figured I would ask you all.... *fingers crossed*

They will still do more than likely. I had the flue when I did my first one.

No fever, as of yet...I hope I don't get one.

Thank you! :)

Just wanted to update you all...

I had the scope done today.

They found a hiatal hernia, which the Dr is going to fix whenever I get my sleeve done.

We were originally shooting for a surgery date of October 15th, but it looks like it will be later than that now... :-/

Anyone ever have a hernia repair at the same time as the sleeve?

      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.
