December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

[Nona337am 9]

Hi Nona! Thanks for checking in! So did you have an EGD or upper GI?

I can have either but I'm wanting them to test for H. pylori too' date=' so I think I need an EGD for that. Just wondering if you took yourself or if someone went with you? For some reason I thought they put you out for the EGD?[/quote']

I had the EGD. I was put under and the procedure lasted about 15 from when I went under and was awoken. My boyfriend went with me. I have to recommend that you have someone drive you afterwards. The anesthesia takes a while to wear off. I remember being very, very drowsy for hours after. They ask that you don't eat or drink past midnight the night before. Before leaving they handed me a document stating that my esophagus was normal, that they found and removed 1 gastric polyp. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[kledislynn's mommy 12]

I am so excited and yet so nervous. I have never flown before and I'm doing this alone and not telling my family just a few trusted friends. I'm sooooo thankful for this thread and all the posts it really has helped ease my mind a little.

[kledislynn's mommy 12]

Yes we will be there for a few days together.

[harleychic1383837815 3]

Yes we will be there for a couple of days together and I hope to meet you!!! My husband will be with me and neither of us have ever flew. that is our main concern. How many days is your preop diet??

[kledislynn's mommy 12]

I'm gonna give u my contact info so we can arrange to meet. And my diet is only 5 days but I think ima start weening myself off carbonated drinks and sugars now.

[harleychic1383837815 3]

Yeah mine is 5 days also. But the day after Thanksgiving I am gonna start mine and do a 7 day. I already drink unsweeten tea with sweet n low. So the drinks won't bother me... what is gonna get me is no taters and bread. Lol. I sent u my phone number!!!! Awesomeness.
