Surgery scheduled 10/4. I am currently at the liquid phase. I went to the fair last night. (This was a killer...oh the food smells). I kept my mind on the goal. Losing weight and getting healthy! Living longer and doing more of what I love! Keep your eye on the goal and the path will be easier. God Bless!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've lost 8 pounds on preop! And that was before the liquid portion. I'm so excited. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Blood work came back good! Started the liquid diet today. Still nervous, but Tuesday will be here before I know it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had mine done 18 years ago, I was 21. It was not bad. The gas pains were horrible and the fact that I let it go on too long and my liver and pancreas were affected probably made it worse.

@@lowbmi65 I had the endoscopy last Monday. Super easy! I had full general anesthesia though. Woke up, ate lunch, and went home. Was a little groggy for the rest of the day, but no big deal. Just seemed like I took a nap at the drs office. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
