Ok so i have my endoscopy tomorrow and I'm Freaking out. I never had an IV or any sort of procedure like this. I'm Terrified of needles and im losing it. Any advice? How do you feel when you wake up?

How am I supposed to handle the actual surgery if I'm freaking out over this? I know im such a baby.....

Don't worry too much, it will be over quick.. endoscopies are done under some light sedation so you wont feel a thing. Just noticed you're local.. where are you having your surgery at?

How did it go?

I had mine on Friday morning and I was so nervous about it, but it was nothing! The worst part for me was the i.v., they placed it in my hand but now my arm near my wrist hurts.. weird? lol. It was really fun waking up from the anesthesia.

      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.
