April 2014 sleevers

[DairyFairy42 30]

Have started telling family but made it clear not a debate rather its an opportunity to cheer me on and if thats too much be my contact person in case of emergency. Come Monday paying for everything. Self pay, bout €7000 but worth it. Only problem is having to do much of the planning myself so any views on pre op would be great, then closer the words of encouragement.

I'm not scheduled but I'm hoping to get mine done in April also

Got the call yesterday and my surgery date got pushed up 1 day till April 8th and they gave me a time to be at the hospital it became so much more real!!! I still haven't told my mom yet I plan to do that in a few weeks. April seemed so far awash but now that's it's March I have a feeling this time is going to fly by. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!!! :-)

What's an EGD?

An EGD is the same thing as an Endoscopy I believe. It is where they run a camera down your esophogus into the stomach. I think it is to check for ulcers and acid reflux damage?? Not 100% sure.
