Good for you! I remember being fearful of the scope- and it was so easy. Now I am 4 days from my surgery and it has all gone very quickly. Do you have to do a pre-op diet? If so, when does it start? When will your surgery be?

My surgey is april 9. I have a 5 day pre op diet. 3 slimfast a day and the rest Clear Liquids. What is yours like

[Busymomof3 181]

I am so thankful that I did not have to do this. I wonder why they make you do it?

[marmello 77]

They said to help shrink your liver before hand. Maybe u have a skinny liver lol

[marmello 77]

Oh did u mean endoscopy? Idk

[Busymomof3 181]

I meant the endoscopy. I had a 10 day liquid pre-op diet and I understand the shrinking the liver piece but I don't understand the endoscopy.

I have no idea

I had my surgery on the 24th of Feb. I did the EGD probably 3 weeks before my surgery. They were able to detect a bad bacteria called Pylori and I also had a hernia. I think that's why they do it. I was on medications for 2 weeks to get rid of it. I think that's why they do it, also for a piece of mind.
