AvalonNeeCee 127 Posted May 1, 2015 My surgery is scheduled for August 3rd. The time cannot go by quickly enough. Would love to have someone to pen pal my way through this with. I think with the lap band I did not have enough support system. Trying to build one up for this surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aprilt10309 4 Posted May 1, 2015 My surgery will hopefully be either the end of July or beginning of August. I was actually able to schedule for the end of April, but we have two girls out on maternity leave at work so my boss couldn't justify giving me the time off. I hope she doesn't give me any issues and have excuses when I go to schedule in July. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AvalonNeeCee 127 Posted May 1, 2015 I am on Catalina Island but my surgery will be in San Diego CA. What is ENDO? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
perk4756 259 Posted May 1, 2015 Endoscopy. They have to look down our throats into our stomach's to make sure all is good. That way if any issues, you can get addressed in the time before surgery too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4evertonya 2 Posted May 4, 2015 What's a endo? nobodies told me I needed one..Does everyone need this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
perk4756 259 Posted May 4, 2015 I believe so. They'll tell ya at your surgeon's appointment. But I had a checklist everyone goes by from the insurance lady. Some things were added and crossed out depending on each person's ailments. Got this my first visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilt10309 4 Posted May 4, 2015 Why are some of u required to have an endo? Did you have ulcers or something? My doctor checks h. Pylori blood levels if you've never had any issues. If that come back positive then he does an endo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
