I passed my classes, I did the psychiatric visit, I now have to have tube put down my throat to check my stomach before surgeon will send letter to the insurance company. I m scared because I don't want any tube going down my throat. Lol. It's nerves. I just hope my insurance approves it.

I’m assuming the tube is your upper endoscopy? You’ll be fine. I did mine early on because I was having a lot of issues with my GERD. In one minute and out the next. It was my first time under so I was nervous too. Now I’m in the same waiting game.

I've had the tube twice. Piece of cake. The worst part is swallowing the numbing spray. Best wishes.

Yes! I forgot the name of the procedure. Yes I have GERD too. I also was just treated for bacteria growth in the intestines. I know having this surgery will help me in many ways. So keeping my fingers crossed

I just had mine last Friday. They gave me something in an IV. I remember the Dr coming in the room and asking me how I was today and then I woke up in recovery.

I have all of my tests done and they are submitting to my insurance at the end of the week and then I have to wait up to 30 days for Blue Cross. The waiting sucks.

Praying for you everything goes right. I did my blood work too. That they requested. I m not sure if the dr wants to perform : colostomy too. I hoping I don't remember thing either regards to endoscopy. Did you have to take drug test too? They want one me to take one. I will. I don't smoke or do drugs.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
