And. Amswtpea, I hope everything goes sweet and smooth. EGDs aren't bad, I have one every 2 weeks, as a matter of fact, I have an EGJ coming up Wednesday morning at 8AM in Columbus. Maybe this time will be good at releasing the stenosis and I will have my stomal stricture No More. Trying to remain hopeful, but becoming more difficult.

Thank you! Stay positive always.

I will pray for you

Just did all my preop tests this morning and called the dr and my insurance approved everything so I'm good to go on dec 26th. I asked about a preop diet and they said I just need to be on a liquid diet the day before. That's weird to me cause most things I've read people have had to do liquid diets for weeks??? Its going to be hard cause that's Christmas but I'll do it cause I want this surgery to be a success

I am scheduled for surgery on the 12/17 as well. Start the liquid diet on 12/3. 😞 It's not purely liquid in my protocol though.... I am allowed one egg per day, sugar free/fat free pudding etc. during the pre-op diet per day. I'll deal with it, but I am NOT looking forward to it at all. However, I should probably loose around 15-20 pounds on this pre-op diet, so it is a nice jump start to getting the weight under control in a twisted sort of way.

What a good perspective getting a jump start on weight loss!! I like the “in a twisted sort of way” outlook!!
