I have My EGD tomorrow and my last Appt with the Nut next Thursday. After that we will submit paper work to the insurance for approval. I am nervous about the EGD but sure it won’t be that big of a problem.

The closer I get to the final step the more I wonder if this is the right thing to do. I am sure everyone felt this way at least once right?

I am also a little worried because the required diet I have not done well on my weight has been yo-yoing like it always does. I plan on doing a 3 day Protein shake diet starting Sunday to try and lose a few extra pounds.

Just think I am getting nervous about the whole thing.

Don't spend one minute sweating the EGD. The IV was the worst part.

Sassy Pants1 is right...the EGD is not that big of a deal...you'll do fine. As far as nerves, I think we all have initial doubts...no matter how much research you do, there's always a little apprehension about 'the unknown'. As long as you're doing what you're doing for the right reason, you should be good! I'm waiting on my surgery date, and the only thing I'm nervous about right now is the procedure itself, and how 'gassy' I'll be immediately afterwards! Oh and for the record...most likely the last appointment with the NUT will not be the last...they will be an important part of your post-op.

A sane person would naturally be nervous in your situation. I was semi- nervous......uh,oh. :D

Take advantage of the EGD like a dry run for the Sleeve. If will serve to show you all those butterflies are unfounded. You'll be much better prepared with less pre-op jitters for later with the sleeve surgery.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
