knzt 69 Posted July 23, 2014 Hello everyone, today I had my appointment with my surgeon again and my date has set 18th September... <br><br> Today I was soooo nervous that I made myself sick, my surgeon is awesome. So I should not be but it's exciting and nerve racking all in one.. <br><br> So I am happy I have a date and it's all starting to happen. <br><br> I do have a few questions though.. <br><br> I have to have a endoscopy 2 days prior to basically check everything out.. Is this normal??? I mean there is no extra cost but just wondering more about it. As in why and not what the procedure is.<br><br> I also have to have injections of Clexane, someone may have spoken about this and I missed it? What's that for?? <br><br> You know how you walk out and then think of a million questions I should of asked that is two I have .. <br><br> Thanks in advance <br><br> 57 days and counting!!!!!! <br><br> Kellie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mentalistfan 189 Posted July 23, 2014 Clexane is to help prevent blood clots and it's normal to have an endoscopy, congratulations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCP 619 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Don't worry; endoscopy is a breeze. The procedure takes all of 15 mins and you'll be out while they do it. No problems! They just check the condition of your esophagus and entry to your stomach, make sure you have no big problems. It's a piece of cake. My date is Sept 10! We will be having ours very close to the same time! I am really excited too! Edited July 23, 2014 by JCP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
