I posted yesterday about my 2 appointments! My consultation and my EDG. My consultation went great!!! I really do like my surgeon and was very caring. My EDG had a few bumps. I guess the meds they give you to put you a sleep only made me drift off and never hit the full unconscious point. Needless to stay I could feel the tube going down my throat and gagging and fighting them because I could feel everything. it was horrible!! They finally had use stronger meds to knock me out. Even though that was very scary and my throat is very much on fire today I do not blame my doctor as know one knew that I would handle the sedation that way. They mentioned that my anxiety level could of possibly caused me to never fully fall asleep.

More good news!! Last summer I was having issues and had to have EDG done and the doctor said I had Berrets disease. Thankfully after lots of prayers and natural meds I know longer have it and he said it looks great!!

Sorry about your egd. I wasn't fully out either, I was so scared they had to give me a lot of meds to calm me down and I never fell asleep. Glad it's over for you now and you had good results!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

      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!
