I have to get a scope done tomorrow. I was wondering what other people's experiences were with it. I'm more nervous for this than I was for surgery

Is this the same as a endoscopy? If so that was a breeze.

I've had about 10 upper endoscopies done - I think out of all of them I had one semi bad experience, and even then it wasn't too bad. No pain, a bit of gas afterward, but only a few times. Sleepy for the rest of the day, but otherwise super easy. No need to be nervous - you'll do great!!

Just had one Monday. DOS was 4/2/13. Had slight stricture so doctor stretched a bit. Was knocked out for procedure. I was in for procedure and out of recovery in less than 45 minutes. No pain at all. My mom drove me Had to go back to liquids for one day and soft for two days. Don't fret, you will do great.

Had one last Friday. They put you under so you don't feel a thing. Felt fine after. You can't drive at all after and need to relax for the day.

      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?
