So - I kinda got my pre-op EGD yesterday and the worst part was the IV. Must admit it did burn with the propofol hit my hand but i was only awake a couple of seconds to feel it then next thing I knew I was back in the little waiting room and on my way home. This whole time I was nervous for nothing lol. Only 2 months to go!

Yep my surgeon makes everyone get an EGD (Endoscopy) in case there are any ulcers or anything that needs to be addressed prior to surgery..

OK the best part was apparently when they were waking me up in the scope room - I asked "Did you find the baby?" LMAO... funny thing is I would have asked that sober.

I had one yesterday!! I was really nervous too but like you said, the worst part was the IV. That burned ALOT and it still hurts!! Does your throat feel weird? My throat is starting to feel weird; no pain but feels a little raw.

Lol yeah it felt weird.. not really sore.. but a little scratchy... if that makes sense. Just enough for me to know it was off... but didn't really hurt. lol

Has anyone had the endoscopy yet? That can calm me down....I'm freaking out because its a moderate sedation and not a deep one. Am I gonna feel it. I'm not good with things like that and am wondering If I should ask for deep sedation.

You will not feel a thing. Even with the lighter sedation, you will be fast asleep.

Good luck!

That's what the EGD is. It's the endoscopy.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
