healthychoice2014 13 Posted October 25, 2014 Ok so I have my appointment with my surgeon on Nov 6th. I was told at this time he will explain the procedure and the pre op diet will start. But one thing that kinda concerns me is that his assistant says the hospital where im getting the surgery done does not require and EGD. Has anyone heard of this before. Now im even more nervous. Somebody please help me to understand. When I have been reading everyone else's post, it seems like everyone has had one. HELP!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curvycurlyfit 120 Posted October 25, 2014 Shiloh0772 is it a secret group? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devoted04 29 Posted October 25, 2014 There is already a fb group for November sleevers. Check it out! We have some great conversations going on. Will they consider changing it to private? I've been honest but not completely open about my surgery and this is closed group...which means people can still see it. Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go4itLori 47 Posted October 25, 2014 Yes, I would like to participate in a private FB page as well. We can share photos from our November surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devoted04 29 Posted October 25, 2014 Is anyone interested in a secret group on Facebook? I find FB easer to use then this app and it would be a great way to keep up with all November sleevers. Also secret groups are completely private so your FB friends will not see anything you post or even know that you are in the group. Yes! Ill message you my name!

angierue 214 Posted October 25, 2014 My surgeon doesn't require the EGD either. I don't have a history of reflux or heartburn so that may be why. I do know that a friend who used the same clinic but a different doctor had one fixed that they discovered while doing her surgery so I'm not worried about it. Look at it this way, it's one less out of pocket cost/hit on your insurance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
