  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. On day six of my two week liquid diet. 8 more days this is really going to happen :-)
  5. I would like to be added to your group my surgery is 25th. My email is brenda@gabbart.com
  6. My date is the 25th. I started a two week liquid diet on Monday so four days in. It has been hard but I know it will worth it.
  7. Sunday the 10th I will begin my 2week liquid diet the last six months has been a learning experience that I am glad I have had. My sister in law had the surgery on the 31st and my brother in law has it tomorrow it will be nice going through this with love ones. Ready for the 25th to get here
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. Oops that didn't quote right. Sorry.
  11. 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.
  12. Turned 50 in August and will be sleeved in November. It just can't get here quick enough.
  13. Penciled in yesterday for Nov 25. :-)
  14. Congrats. I just found out that I have been pencil in for surgery on Nov 25th. It all of a sudden seems so real.
  15. My insurance won't let me until after the 6 months is over. Totally stinks
  16. 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
  17. I will be completed with everything on November 15. just need an appointment with the surgeon and get an EGD. Was hoping to have surgery before Thanksgiving but not sure that is going to happen. Keeping my fingers crossed.
  18. I have my lat NUT visit and regular Dr visit on the 13th. Am hoping to get in with surgeon before Thanksgiving and family reunion.
