Hi Jess, first off congrats! I saw a gastroenterologist last week for my endoscopy. He said after the sleeve I will continue to have acid reflux, however as I lose weight, the symptoms should subside.. I know it's all very scary. I started in the journey 2 months ago and hope to have my surgery in the fall. But as I take each step I am beginning to realize this is what I need to do. I need to lose weight to live a long healthy life and I need this tool to do it.. No matter the after affects, it will all be better then being over weight and developing health related issues that could last my life time. I hope this helps. I wish you the best of luck

I started the journey last month.. Def call your insurance, each carrier may have different requirements.. Mine requires 6 months of clinical nutrition visits and a psych eval.. I've had the eval, an endoscopy and upper GI already.. It's a lot of things to cover, but I think it's important to take each step as it comes.. By the time everything is completed I know I will have made the right choice and be ready for the next chapter

I had mine last Friday.. They have you gargle with a numbing agent and then give you a shot in your iv.. I don't remember a single thing.. I was nervous too, but it was for nothing. Simplest test ever!
