Ha! I love it! You should have been an OR nurse... You should hear our diner conversations

So I was sleeved on 10/10 ( doing great) but I never had endoscopy. Do your surgeons do these on every pt or only ones with certain pre-existing conditions?

Funny you say that! :} I actually was hoping to become a trauma/er nurse when I was in nsg school' date=' but that's on hiatus now.

Glad to hear things are going well! :} seems like I see more horror stories than smooth sailing...

My surgeon does EGD on everyone bc they're checking for H.Pylori bacteria, as well as to check anatomy. In my case, it was also to see what the damage was (if any) from my history of GERD & reflux. He was concerned that doing the sleeve (vs RNY) would just exacerbate any heartburn & make the rest of my life miserable if there was a lot of evidence to prove it, but the EGD dr said other than a mild patch of gastritis, it looked really clear & he saw no evidence of current GERD or reflux. I meet with my surgeon on Nov 1st to review all the referral appts' findings, so hopefully he's more willing to do VSG now...! :}
