You will be fine, I promise! I had an endo/colo on 7/11. It was no biggie at all. Just a teeny bit of a scratchy throat from the tube being down there.

The worst thing was the bowel prep solution the night before for the colonoscopy.

I woke up within 10 minutes after they were finished.

Best of luck!

yeah im really nervous. i cant even swallow pills so the idea if a camera going down my throat doesnt sit too well with me. i am hungry but i could deal with that. I EXTREMELY thirsty though. i like to have my ice coffee in the morning.

Im afraid by the time i get there my breath is going to stink lol. Im gonna try to rinse it out before i leave work. i really should of taken off work so i could of had it done in the morning time but i couldnt afford to take the day off =(

It's yet another step closer to getting your tool that will help you towards health. Enjoy the nap!

Mine is today at noon. For me a test for h pylori bacteria will take 2 weeks to culture . If negative, then surgery will be scheduled. if positive, my surgeon will require a 6 week treatment (antibiotics) before surgery.,

Also having a colonoscopy - was due for one anyway and insurance requires double whammy since I'll be out anyway.

Blessings all!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
