@@busybeebug best of luck with the rest of your 6 months!
@@Valentina having my glasses was a huge help today! I found out I have a hiatal hernia that they will repair during surgery. They also took some biopsies but the MD said that everything looked good

Thanks @@Valentina for your response! It's more an issue that I get motion sick without my contacts so if I know in advance I can just wear my glasses

So I have my endoscopy tomorrow... I am getting nervous and excited... It's my last test for approval and assuming it all goes well I will get my surgery date this week! I do have a question about the endoscopy... Last time I had surgery they made me remove my contacts... Will they make me do the same for the endoscopy? I hate not being able to see!

I just downloaded the Baritastic app and it has a chew timer as well as a timer for the 30 mins without drinking before and after eating... Maybe try that?

This is the handout I was given at my first appt with the dietitian... Every MD is different so this is just what my program recommends... Maybe it will help... I am prep op so I am taking the Multivitamin (Celebrate chewable Multivitamin with iron) at this time as well as Biotin (BariMelts) and Vitamin D (I was low on Vitamin D in my pre op blood work so the MD gave me prescription Vitamin D)

1. Being comfortable with people throwing me at karate
2. Shopping any where I want
3. My knees to stop hurting or hurt less.
4. Running with my friends
Those are my top things
