Blue dye leak test, perhaps? I didn't use Dr. PDL but I'm thinking its a typo for the leak test.

Oh yes! That's probably what it is. Dr. P does use the blue dye test before the swallow study.

Yes. I tried to do 2 weeks but just couldn't! I kept cheating :'( ... you have to adhere to the 3 day yogurt and Water only though! No cheating. It about killed me!!!!!! I'm not going to lie, it was rough. I also didn't realize until the last second that u can't eat any yogurt with anything in it! Not even tiny seeds. That's hard to find!

I remember that feeling!!!! Honestly I didn't relax until I got back home and realized that I had a good trip. I do think Trish made all the difference though. I couldn't have even navigated the city without her. I'm 2 months post op as of yesterday. :-) Feel free to ask any questions to eas ur fears. :-)

I haven't been very happy with Trish. I just still seem like I'm lost with it all. She doesn't return emails and ill text and ask a question and she beats around the bush seems like. I sent her a text two days ago and haven't heard back from her. I have no idea what time my surgery is or anything and it's Thursday.

That would be very stressful. I hope you find some peace of mind.

I got the same thing in the beginning. It was very frustrating. But once we got there she explained herself a little more. I'll see what i can do about getting her to contact you.

      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.
