I have surgery tomorrow (Friday) at 7:30a.m. and I just realized that I haven't had an EGD... Is this normal?!

All doctors and insurance companies require different tests pre-op.

not necessarily. I had an EGD because he suspected I had a hernia--which I did and he was able to repair. Not everyone needs one. Good luck tomorrow!!! You'll do great. Be sure to take some socks...the rooms are COLD!!!

Did Dr Reilly do your surgery? Where did you have ur EGD? I'm in Texas now and they have me staying at the hotel but they did not tell me if I go to True Results or medical center

You go to True Results on Main. Go to the 8th floor. I also had my EGD done there in July and was banded in August at the same place.

Bless you!!!!!!! after crying my heart out the on call spoke actually got in touch with the doctor and he told me. I'm just an emotional wreck did this decision of getting the band have anybody else emotional like this days before the surgery?

Do you recall if they gave you a locker for your belongings? I have to take my suitcase because my ride is picking me up from there and I don't want them to tell me I can't have it there.

I did not have a locker but I'm sure there is a place they will let you put your suitcase. It only took about 20 minutes for the EGD to be done. Then I was in recovery for about 30 minutes. Good luck to you in the morning. Keep us posted!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
