I had my egd today. It very well. The longest part was waiting for the doctor to show up. Don't remember a thing and guess all went ok cause I never heard differently.

Is that the same as an EGD? I have that scheduled for Nov. 6th. I've heard your asleep so it's no biggie.

Good luck!

I had my cardiac clearance today, YAY! One more thing marked off the pre-op check list. Next is an EGD on Saturday and then bloodwork next Friday.......

Good Luck and keep us posted!

Or you could also use Zofran or Phenergan. Both are prescription.

My last supper will be Thanksgiving dinner. I think I will get a good mix of foods that day! Good luck everyone!

I am a patient of Dr. Jay and I was just wondering if anyone else out there was too?! I am scheduled to have surgery on December 3rd at Forest Park Medical Center. Dr. Jay came highly recommended and I am very excited for what my future holds. Hope to find some of his other patients here. Good luck to everyone!

That is GREAT to hear! The nurse practioner made it sound like thay come in every 2 hours your entire stay making you get up and walk. I'm okay with doing it during the day while I'm awake but I'd like my sleep too! I am aware of day 2 and the procedure and I have also heard how nasty that stuff is but hopefully I won't have any problems. I'm glad to hear such wonderful things about this place. Hope everyone is doing great!

I don't know about everyone else but I am very excited about my upcoming surgery. I am ready for the challenges ahead and to start a new life. Not only will this surgery affect me but it will affect my entire family. We will all end up changing our diet and start exercising more. Being obese is not something I want my kids to have to deal with. My 15 year old son decided over the summer he was no longer going to be "fat" so he started dieting and exercising and has lost 60 pounds! I was/am so proud of him!! I wish it was that easy but then again we aren't 15 anymore. I can't wait to hear about everyone's journey we are about to go through......

I have BCBS of IL (I live in TX) and I got approved the very first time it was presented to insurance. I was afraid it wouldn't because I have heard that so many insurance companies don't cover it because it is "new".

I have to start my preop diet the day after Thanksgiving. I only have to do a 1 week liquid diet before surgery. So Thanksgiving is my last day to eat "real" food for a LONG time.

I will be having surgery there December 3rd with Dr. Jayseleen. I've heard lots of postive things about the hospital. I also hear they get you up every two hours and make you walk the hallway 3 times! That I am not so thrilled about!

I am scheduled for surgery December 3rd in Dallas, TX. I have plenty of appointments between now and then. I am so excited and ready. Good luck to everyone!
