I did my initial nutrition/psych analysis yesterday, and had my EGD today. All went smoothly, no sign of a hiatal hernia or esophageal erosion (I have GERD), no sign of a duodenal ulcer (which was a concern), and we're waiting for the results from a gallbladder ultrasound but the EGD doc said he didn't see any bile duct inflammation, so (fingers crossed) it's looking like the coast is clear for me to get my lap sleeve done on 5/6/10 as planned! Now that I know that my surgery will be about as simple as a lap sleeve can be (no gallbladder issues, no hiatal hernia, virgin stomach), I'm getting much less anxious about the surgery and actually starting to get excited about the prospect of getting skinny!
