I hope all goes smoothly for you. Nerves may be hard to take but It is all happening. I want to be in your spot now but have ten days left to go. Let us all know your post op updates. There is many here that have you and others going forward with surgery in their thoughts.

There's nothing to worry about. They (should) put you to sleep and you wake up after. I love endoscopies.. I love the sleep ;)

Oh wait.. Unless you're worried they will find something.. But then there's still nothing to worry about because worrying won't help. Be positive :D

Me too. I got taken out with propofol. No wonder Michael Jackson loved it so much. That stuff is awesome!

Endoscopy is easy - I had no pain at all. I woke up from the anesthesia and asked why they were taking so long to get started - I was shocked it was already done!

I think mine will be at the end of my 6 months. I sure hope they put me to sleep for it.

How did u feel after. We're u awake enough to go to work

I needed my wife to drive me home per hospital rules. I walked out perfectly stable on my feet. I felt a little tired for about 4 hours afterwards. After that everything was like a normal day for me.

Oh my gosh I went to work and struggled hard to stay awake. I did have someone drop me off at work then take me home, but to tell you the truth I was pretty much regretting going to work. I would have been fine at home watching a move or something lol

I just had mine today. There really isn't much to it like others said. I actually had a colonoscopy right directly after it so I did a double whammy. That was my choice just because it was due to be done. I was not able to drive and was told isn't permitted by law anyway. You'll be fine.

        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
