  1. I had IV and I was wide awake through the procedure but I did not feel anything. Quick and painless,
  2. Good luck to you all tomorrow.
  3. Stay strong. You can do it!
  4. Just had my EGD. Wasn't bad at all though I was awake for the whole thing.
  5. I have my EGD scheduled tomorrow and had a light breakfast and have to have clear liquids the rest of the day. Man this is rough. I am stuck at work until 2am and have to be at the hospital at 7am. I guess I will just pull an all nighters but it will get even harder with nothing after midnight. Ugh.
  6. I start my pre op diet tomorrow! Time is flying by. Surgery coming up on the 12th.
  7. Can you let me know what to expect with the EGD? I have mine coming up in a few days and am a little nervous about it.
  8. I went to my class and tried some of it. It wasn't bad. It is one that is recommended as well as unjury.
  9. Does anyone know if it is okay to go to work about 3 hours after having an EGD? I will just be sitting at a desk for work and occasionally talking to customers over the phone.
  10. Yesterday was my pre-admission testing. I am got a call today from the doctor's office. Now that some of the results came in, they want to schedule for an EGD. I was hoping that I was done with tests and felt nervous to have to do another. I know it is a precaution and most likely has something to do with my years of reflux. I just hope all is well and we can still proceed with surgery on March 12th. EGD scheduled for February 28th.
  11. My surgery is March 12th. I am lad that for the most part I have been able to do get around and do daily tasks with ease. However at age 33, my life has been pretty limited when it comes to just having fun. I have always loved to go swimming but I feel like I am just stared at when I got to a Water park and I can't even do much but go in the wave pool or lazy river. It has been years since I have been able to ride a majority of rides at an amusement park. I may find one to two rides to go on but that is it. I mostly get stuck with watching everyone else's stuff while they go have fun. My partner has been dying for me to be able to go kayaking with her and I can not wait to finally be able to go and enjoy an active lifestyle with her. One thing I am excited to try that neither of us has done is zip lining. :-)
  12. Today was PAT day. It sure was a long day but glad to be another step closer to my surgery on March 12th.
  13. I am very excited too! For some reason I am looking forward to trying out zip lining. I have seen a few videos on YouTube of it. I have never been able to do it because of my weight. Also, I look forward to leading a more active lifestyle with my partner. She has always loved the outdoors and I can not wait to be able to keep up with her when we go hiking :-)
  14. I am excited. Not really nervous so far. I am looking forward to the changes to come :-)
  15. Hello. I am in Dayton. Just got my surgery scheduled for March 12th. I am excited. :-)
  16. I am 33. My surgery is scheduled for March 12th. I am excited for the changes to come and the whole new active lifestyle that I hope to have. One fun thing that I have been looking forward to doing is zip lining. :-) I too get nervous when thinking about the stages that we all go through after surgery. I am glad that I have support in friends and family. Also, I am glad to have come across this app for additional support.
  17. My surgery is scheduled for March 12th. I am excited and slightly nervous.
