Sore throat 2 days before my EGD



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm scheduled for my endoscopy on Monday at 10:15am. I woke up today with a sore throat this morning and little bumps in the back of my mouth. I feel perfectly fine otherwise but now I'm really nervous that they will cancel my procedure. Did this happen to anyone? If so, did they still see you even though you didn't have any other symptoms?

This whole process has been overwhelming for me. I found out last week that I need my gallbladder removed because of gallstones. I really can't afford a set back

Thanks for listening and sharing your experience if you have one.

Oh no hopefully that won't push your EDG back. I just had my GB ultrasound today and my EDG Is Monday as well... Did you have any symptoms of gallstones?

I have pain in my back, abdomen, and right under my rib cage on the right. My stones are fairly big. One symptom that I have and I didn't know it was related is I have digestive issues when I eat certain foods. So I cut out fried foods months ago due to the pain it caused me. I think I'm coming down with strep so I'm going to hit up an urgent care tonight and try to get on meds asap.

They should be able to clear it up pretty quickly. Good luck and get well soon

I had a cold when I did my actual surgery and it was no big deal. I was afraid to that they were going to cancel my surgery but it didn't. The EDG I doubt unless you have a fever that it will greatly affected and if you're not taking any biotics so if you haven't been prescribed anything then I really don't think it will matter. But definitely disclose all of that information to your provider when you arrive tomorrow

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
