Endoscopy @ 1030 this morning and I am nervous. Idk why I have had a c-section and 2 surgeries but for some reason I feel like running the other way !!!!!

Good luck to you...I was turned away when I was scheduled for an endoscopy 2 weeks ago. I had the tube down my throat and all...5 minutes later they woke me up. They told me my sleep apnea was too severe to be fully sedated. I called my pulm specialist right away for a clearance and pleaded to the gastro for a second chance because the surgeon wouldn't do the sleeve without a biopsy from endo...I got rescheduled right away...don't be scared! God is great all the time and He finds a way for anyone that believes in a better life.

Thanks for your words of encouragement :) I know my God is a mighty God and I have nothing to fear but I guess it's just part of being human!

I was VERY nervous of this too. Previous to the endo I never had any surgery of any kind. It's a very easy procedure and they medicate you so you don't remember much or even care. You will be just fine....I promise!!

Totally aggravated !!!!!! So I have my drop me off at hospital and the plan is for my coworker to pick me up . Ok so I get dropped of , I go in and register while I am waiting a nurse comes out and calls my name. I get up to walk inside to be told I have to reschedule because the doctor has to do emergency surgery. So now I am 30 minutes away from home sitting in a lobby waiting for my ride.

That is so not acceptable. Docs usually have partners. One of them should have stepped in. We never turn patients away. Even when they show up prepped for colonoscopy on the wrong day. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
