Had mine done yesterday, had a bit of a panic attack but came round really well, The only thing is the trapped wind, hurts really bad, anyone who has had it got any tips to help release this bloody gas! Thanks very much and good luck for those who still have to get it done!

I am in the UK, I have to be on the milk diet for two weeks, i started today but cheated just after a few hours, i so determined not to do it again, but two weeks on nothing but milk, water, sugar free juice and jelly and a oxo drink for salt, i can have teas with sweetner though. I need all the help i can get with this, this is very hard! :/

Good luck Maria and thankyou! Good luck to all of you!

Thanks to your answer DeAna! and congrats to the others who have got their date! I am july 12th!

I'm not having one of them! So has anyone else had the pre-sedative before going under, if so what does it feel like? Please reply cause i know i am gonna need it so i want to know what it is like. Thanks people.

I am getting so nervous!!! But it's the only way forward for me really, hate blood tests too, what is an endoscopy if you don't mind me asking, do we all have to have it?

Good luck to all of you and me! Hope everyone lets us know how they got on, especially the ones going before the rest of us! Yay to the future us!

Thanks Cathy, all the best for you too!

Congrats hun! I also got mine which is on the 12th of July. I am extremley scared of the surgery but very excited on the outcome! How much weight would you like to loose in total then?

Yes I am! It's taken a lot of nerves to actually go for the operation as I have an immense fear of being put under, it's the reason why I have gotten so big because I have been putting it off because of my fear, it's like I panic because i think what if i don't wake up? or what if panic when I wake up because i can't breathe or see properly. This all may sound so irrational but it's very real for me and it's the worst panic ever. I am cloustrophobic so that is where this fear stems from. But because i am the heavest i have ever been i can feel my health going down I have decided that enough is enough. My surgey date is on the 12th of july! so not long at all and I am will be on the milk diet for two weeks! So I hope they will be able to give me a pre sedative before i go for surgery so i relax and try not run out of the hospital! Sorry this post is a bit long but i havn't spken to anyone yet who is going to go through this so it will be nice to talk to others in my situation!
