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!

@@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 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
