Had my surgery yesterday and have started roaming the halls. Looks like I will get to go home tomorrow. No more sore than any other surgery I have had.

Sorry it was a double

No I did mean EDG it is when they go through the throat and check your stomach. But I just got word that surgery will be Monday. SO EXCITED.

I am so nervous. My surgery is scheduled for Monday the 25th. I went yesterday for my EDG and didn't get the best of news now I have to wait and see if the surgeon is going ahead with surgery or postpone it. I hope if we postpone it won't be very long if we wait till January my deductible will go up and I will have to pay it again. I pray ire is not serious enough for that.

Back from vacation so now it is November. Just a few more weeks. My sister in law had surgery yesterday and my brother in law will next Tuesday they were both private pay so did not have a waiting period. So unfair sometimes. I so want the 25th to get here

Next week I am going on my very first cruise I am really excited. I wish I were already sleeved and well on my way to my goal weight. I would love to look good but that didn't happen so I will go on my cruise enjoy my family and vacation and the food. When I get back I will prepare for my surgery which is scheduled for the 25th of November. This is a very exciting time in my life.

Surgery is set for Nov 25 -

welcome to the fifties! I turned 54 in August and was sleeved LAST November. It was a great decision for me and no regrets. I think the Aug./Nov. Combo must be a lucky one! Here's my before and after pictures just to give you a taste of what's ahead of you. Keep us posted on your progress. You don't know how close we are at starting weight. I am only 5ft tall well dr measured me at 4 11 1/2. But I can't wait to look as good as you.

Turned 50 in August and will be sleeved in November. It just can't get here quick enough.

Penciled in yesterday for Nov 25. :-)

Congrats. I just found out that I have been pencil in for surgery on Nov 25th. It all of a sudden seems so real.

My insurance won't let me until after the 6 months is over. Totally stinks -

It is where they put you out and go down your throat to make sure everything is okay and no surprises. My dr has to have one before he will do surgery -
