Terrified

Mine was SOOO smooth I couldn't believe it but pre and post op diet is a MUST according to my Surgeon. He has stopped surgery because of this

Although I have not had the surgery yet, I totally sympathize in regards to fear. I am not sure I am helped by the stories of those with complications, however, what I do continue to hear is that despite them, they would do it again. So, with that, I will go forward with the decision and hope for the best. I am comforted by the stories that it was not as bad as expected. It seems like the best course of action is to follow what the Dr says and not to deviate. I am all in on that one!

Just found out I have insurance co authorization! I'm scared to death. Surgery on 9/11! Is this a bad omen? I have to have an EGD next week.

Ok. Surgery date changed to Sept 15, only 2 weeks from today in Allentown, Pa! Drinking Protein shakes and as much as I need to do this, ( 250 pds and 5'4) I'm so so scared.

Anyone want to be buddies?

Hey Shelly, I'm in the York/Harrisburg area I know how you're feeling. Just got my Auth last week and go for my last pre-op visit with the NUT tomorrow. Hoping to get a set surgery date! *fingers crossed* Hope all is going smoothly for you since your EGD. Seems like once the auth happens everything goes warp speed. Lol
