I agree with Deb9386 about the positive physical changes that can happen very quickly. My fatty liver completely resolved, as did my sleep apnea and GERD. High blood pressure is now normal, and my cholesterol has dropped over 70 points! A1C is very normal now, down from borderline diabetic. Even my asthma is so much better, and I have NO JOINT OR BACK PAIN!!!! NONE!!!! I lived with continual back and knee pain, and had already had one knee replacement. The pain is GONE! I can hike, bike, ride my horse, and get down (and up) on the floor with my grand kids. The life and health transformations are remarkable and I know I not only added years to my life, but QUALITY of life was added, as well. It is so worth it.

Hello Everyone:
I am new to the board and in the midst of my journey to receive gastric surgery. I have always had MAJOR anxiety at the doctor, but know that this surgery is the best option for me. I recently diagnosed with diabetes during this journey and this really put me over the edge in my decision making.
I am SUPER nervous about my pre-op testing with, in particular cardiology and my endoscopy in a couple of days.
I have all these thoughts racing through my head.
Anyone have any words of wisdom to calm me down about my cardiology tests and endoscopy? :)
