Did anyone have Dr Srinivasian for their surgeon and if so what was your experience.

Went to my EGD appointment today and they asked me if I wanted to have my procedure done on Tuesday. Of course I said YES!!! I am too excited.

So excited!!! Completed all test and all requirements, last pre-op visit with Dr. Lin to find out surgery day will be November 28th.

Cant wait I'll keep you all posted!

Hello All,

I am working on getting my letter of medical necessity and getting my blood work sent over.

I have to say my first visit was not good. I arrived at 8am and did not leave until almost 4pm....needless to say I was not pleased. I don't know why it took 8 hours for my first appointment and I hope that going forward things will move more smoothly.

My surgery was yesterday at noon. A little pain and 3 walks so far.

I hope all is well and I wish you a speedy recovery. Remember, the best is yet to come.

That was a quick hospital stay. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks Suite V. I can't stay up

I wish you a speedy recovery and hope that you are doing well.

Weightless-Beauty, I wish you the best. Are you nervous? What are you doing during pre-op?

@ 1FabulousDiva

Thank you for wishing me the best, No not really nervous a little concerned about the "unknown" that comes with surgery but ultimately no worries. Ive been told that my pre-op diet will be a "liquid meal plan" consisting of meal replacement shakes like Carnation Instant breakfast,Slim Fast, Ensure , Boost, and Gluecerna limit to 1000-1200 calories a day and to consume only 64 oz of calorie free, caffeine free beverages each day. This will occur 7-10 days before surgery day at which I haven't received notice yet I will be told or giving surgery day on November 28th. I'll share date as soon as its told to me!!!

Again Thanks and best wishes to you as well,
