I had my endoscopy today, and everything turned out great. But I took out my nose piercing and it closed in the two hours the procedure took! :( Only bad thing to happen so far in this journey. Losing weight > losing my piercing, though!

Wow, that closed up quick! Just had my endoscopy a couple of days ago.... worst thing that happened to me was gargling with lidocaine!!! Nasty stuff... Then my doctor starts asking me questions while my mouth is totally numbed out... Funny!

They put me under anesthesia for mine! I would've hated to be awake for that!

I'm surprised. They didn't make me take out my Monroe's. but they used meds to make me sleep which was nice cause I was awake again after 15 mins and no nausea. Was your nose piercing new? I'd expect that from a oral but not a cartilage cause that was way quick

Im glad everything went well for you. I woke up toward the end of my endoscopy. It was terrifying and it felt horrible. I never want to have to do that again! lol

i had my nose piercing for two years! that's why i was so surprised it closed on me. but i figure it's alright since i would have had to take it out again in a month for the actual surgery.

      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.
