Anyone have the EGD before surgery? I go on Monday and I am a nervous wreck! I had to get one as a little girl and I will never forget that procedure ???? I am more nervous abt this procedure than I am the surgery.

Did anyone demand to be put under?

I had one, it wasn't bad actually, but I kept swallowing so that was uncomfortable.

DS Surgery on 1/23 :)

@@zizi_tops I'm a Northern Girl myself, Connecticut to be exact!!! I was required to do a High Protein, Low Carb for two weeks then 2 or 3 days before surgery Clear liquid Diet... However, I'm probably do all Clear liquids starting Friday. I have my EGD scheduled on the 13th, so I figured since I can't eat or drink anything after midnight Thursday, what a better way to start off! When do you start your Pre-Op Diet?

I'm scheduled for February 15th. My doctor does not require any type of liquid diet or otherwise pre-surgery, but I'm thinking about doing one regardless, just to make the surgery safer (and to jump start my weight loss). Would any of you be willing to share what you're doing/did? I haven't yet met with the NUT (and I plan on picking her brain, too), but I'd love to hear from all of you as well.

Congratulations to everyone who's recently had surgery or are in the final stages of prep! :D I'm so excited for Feb 15th!

My preop diet isn't completely liquid it's 1 Protein shake 2 meals (4 oz lean meat 1 to 2 cups of veggies) the first week and 2 shakes one meal the second week. 64 oz of Water and if you're hungry they allow for a Fiber drink such as benefiber or Metamucil. I also do another Protein Shake if I'm still hungry, I have to stay between 1000-1200 cal and I use premier Protein Shakes, so not very many cal. In them. Hope this helps some! Good luck:)

      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.
