I guess all doctors are different because i never had a EGD or a endoscopy.

The Egd (aka endoscopy or scope) are standard routine for every patient for MY dr so he knows exactly what he will be getting into. Yes, different drs require different tests. Good luck!

I SHOULD be a June sleever...got verbal approval, but waiting on the letter-written approval- before my date can be scheduled...they said they schedule about 2 weeks out from the date the approval is received, so that would be mid June. I HOPE!!

As we all embarked on this journey we go through a whirlwind of emotions. Happy then scared. Anxious then thrilled. Hesitant then super sure. Prepared then not prepared enough. But we are READY! Ready to be healthy. Ready to love our bodies. Ready to be free. Ready for the OMG moments ahead. Ready for that wow factor when we see old friends. Ready for the new me. Ready to get this show on the road.

I did not get one either. I am self pay and I guess that is not something my DR does. My son and his wife did not do one either. They are doing great. She had hers two years ago and my son did his in March.

My doc said it was because I still have my gallbladder. He wants to make sure it's fine before the surgery. If it's making stones then it will be taken out as well.

Oh ok, my dr is just taking it out at the same time as my sleeve to prevent future stones and other problems with it...

Congrats!! My surgeon told me after my egd that I have "a really large stomach" I laughed and said "I know that is why I am having the surgery" he laughed too....he meant the inside of the stomach was huge and explains why my stomach growls all the time! Good luck!!

Lol ...thanks ...

I am taking this with me to Mexico and keeping it with me to for my motivation when I am going through my scariest times before and after surgery. Thanks Prettynpink!

      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.
