I was nervous about my EGD but it was a breeze. I had never been to this hospital so that's why I was nervous but all the nurses were very nice. I have a tattoo of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland on my chest, one of the nurses bonded with me over it and right before I got knocked out from the anesthesia she quoted Alice in Wonderland. I can't remember exactly what she said but I remember it put a big smile on my face. She was so kind. Really made me feel better about having my surgery at the same facility.

Come on April 19th! I'm so ready for you!

Thanks so much for posting this. I have my egd tomorrow and I have been so worried. Glad to hear it's a petty easy procedure. My surgery is the 19th too. Good luck to you

The worst part is waiting for them to call u from the waiting room. Everything else is a breeze.

I had mine this past Friday and have to schedule another one. For whatever reason, my stomach had not emptied of the prior nights dinner and I was still full so they couldn't see anything. Bah. Clear Liquids the day before the next one and then npo at midnight- it WILL work the 2nd time!

That really sucks. Hopefully they can get it this time.

      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?
