Mine was today too! Easy peasy, though I am pretty tired still 7 hours later.

Mine went smoothly too... it was super easy! My husband had the same procedure a few months before I did, but it was to test for celiac disease so they had to go poking around in his intestines, and his throat did hurt after probably because the scope was in there longer. Glad things went smoothly for you too! One more thing to check off the list! :)

Had my egd yesterday. Ten minute nap felt wonderful. No issues. Small amount of burning like reflux because he took two biopsies. Other than that, no problem. And beforehand, I was terrified.

I had mine done yesterday, awake!! No sleepy medicine for me. It was very uncomfortable and somewhat painful but I handled it like a champ! lol He also did 2 biopsies. My sister was able to watch the whole thing on the screen with the doctor. He went thru my nostril and it is still a little sensitive today. Glad to have it over with!

I'm so glad to hear that everyone did so well. I have my EGD next Thursday the 24th and the gal making the appointment for me guaranteed me that I would not remember a thing. After reading your success stories here, I'm not worried a bit. Thank you!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
