  1.    lau4lau reacted to a post in a topic: Endoscopy? Pre Op diet?
  2. I bet it's St. Elizabeth's Medical Center where I'm going! I think that's where the surgeries are done. Have you been to any local support groups? They have them at St. E's
  3. That's awesome. Quitting must make things harder! What made you choose Dr. Pecquex? I was referred to Dr. McCluney who is the Assistant Director of the Steward Center for Weight Loss but I don't know much about him...
  4. I'm done with all my pre-op testing and they are submitting to insurance next week. I should have a surgery date any day now!
  5. My surgeon had me do a barium swallow instead of a endoscopy. Seems odd to me since I have acid reflux and endoscopy are supposed to be more effective. Anyone else experience this? Also, I see that a lot of surgeons require a liquid diet prior to surgery. Mine only mandates easily digestible foods a few days before. I've read quite a few articles about the benefits of a liquid diet before surgery to decrease complications. Anyone else?
  6. I'm in SE Mass. Walpole. I'm having my surgery done at St. Elizabeth's with Dr. McCluney.
