What time will you be there Monday? I see Jeannie on monday to get weighed in and such. My appt is at 11. :Dancing_sorry: I hope your appt goes well.

Updated...if you look at my ticker or my name on the spreadsheet ive lost 11 lbs since monday on preop so far!!! I get weighed again on Monday that will be the end of week one and then the end of week 2 will be surgery day :Dancing_sorry:

I was diagnosed with Gerd when I was 15. It's been bothering me more the past few months so I am guessing it's the hernia. Will a hernia repair make surgery more painful/longer/longer recovery?

EGD wasn't bad at all i was back in recovery before I knew it and I never even knew I had something down my throat cept it's sore. Found out today that we met the deductible with insurance so we only had to pay 5% of the surgery price so we only paid 820 bucks today instead of 1700!! How do they repair a hiatal hernia? I've been told it will make it take longer for recovery by some and more painful. I love the staff in the south tower...awesome people. Can't wait until my weigh in Monday and my surgery the next monday!!!! :Dancing_sorry:

I'm down 11 lbs since Monday!! :tongue2: preop diet rules. Had my EGD today turns out I have a hiatal hernia so have to have it repaired during surgery. 10 more days!

All updated and added.

Got my EGD done this morning. Decided to weigh myself before I went in. Down 11 lbs since first day or preop diet. -39 total :tongue2: Found out I have a hiatal hernia that has to be repaired when i get banded on the 24th. Woopie.

EGD tomorrow at 9:30am fun times.

I wish it was the 24th! lol preop diet is hard and I'm hungry lol

I have to pay 1700 at my EGD i think I was told...thats the 10% of my lapband surgery the insurance didnt cover they told me to have it for the EGD...dunno why we pay it then but yeah lol

aaaack dont mention food especially chocolate -die- lol

my surgery is the 24th and i had my preop start on monday I'm on day 3 o.o

My date is the 24th too. I'm on day 3 of preop its not as bad as day 1 ansd 2 were. Feeling quite a bit better.

My appt with Jeannie is at 11am I'll prob be there a few minutes before. She told me it would last 30 minutes. She is going to weigh me and I dunno what else...I am just hoping I am down 5 lbs. Eating this few calories i would say I HAVE TO BE lol. SO wear comfy clothes on friday for my EGD and no jewelry?

I'm staying on plan today because I am on day 3 of preop and it's getting a bit easier even if I am very sleepy and hungry...and by November 24th my day of surgery my liver should be nice and skinny for surgery!

Everything is updated...those of you on there please check to see if any mistakes. I am quite groggy lol. Thanks.

I'm on day 3 of my preop diet. Weak and sleepy. Day 1 and 2 were HORRIBLE I felt so sick and I had to run around on those days too. I go in for my EGD friday morning and my surgery is Monday November 24th. Only 11 more days of preop woo =/ lol

I'm very sleepy. On day 3 of preop diet...yay. First 2 days were horrid I felt sick all day...it's starting to get easier. Woot.

Preop diet is so hard. I have a protein shake for breakfast one for lunch then 4oz skinless chicken breast and 1 cup green veggies for dinner...I am on day 3 and just tired today day 1 and 2 were HARD I felt sick all day on those 2 days. I wish I hada scale so I knew if I was losing or not. I'm so sleeeeepy lol and cold. 11 more days of this yay lol

Updated and added everyone. Sorry about not being on...preop diet is making me sleepy...plus expecting phone calls n such.

My appt with Kaplan went great. I was feeling a little queasy from not having anything in my system but liquids though. I did the blood work they needed that day, didn't need another chest xray etc. My EGD is friday morning and my Surgery is the 24th at 1pm. Preop is going well...the first 2 days I felt sick today I just feel really tired. I did my phone interview yesterday afternoon and I am going to meet with the anestesiologist the morning of surgery. These shakes are horrible...but it's not too bad if I blend them with LOTS of ice. I wish I had a scale I want to know if I am losing. I've only been having around 400 calories a day so I have to be really. I see Jeannie on monday to make sure I've lost 5 lbs if I haven't I have until surgery day...Kaplan told me I only need to lose 5. He is a very nice guy. Easy to talk to etc. Either way surgery isn't too far away! I'm a bit scared about the EGD though lol...never had one before. What should I wear to it? I wasn't told that but he did tell me to have my piercings out I think. As far as I remember. I've been foggy since Monday LOL...and hungry.

I don't have a specific date for my EGD until the 10th...that will be confirmed and my surgery date on Monday. So on Monday after I see Kaplan then I can come home and call the scheduling part and tell them when my EGD is and my surgery date and get my PAT scheduled. I was just going to ask Kaplan's nurse about how to do it, etc...not that they do it for me.

Civil rights isnt the same as an actual marriage. I don't think it's fair that they can't officially be married like a man and woman can.

I too voted for Obama on his qualifications...I don't give a damn if he's the 1 eye-ed one horned flying purpe people eater...based on his qualifications he still would have got my vote. McCain just wasn't right for us!

What's PSTP mean?
