You will be "consciously sedated" so you will be awake but really out of it and really won't remember it... But it's kinda like a "truth serum"

And some people say some pretty outrageous stuff, hehehe :o

Roflmao!!!!! I will be having it done Monday' date=' so I will let you know how it goes. I'm super nervous about it, but the nurse said everyone handles it really well. I'm assuming I will be really numb. My paperwork says the camera is so small that I will still be able to swallow during the procedure. So.... Yeah. Eeek.[/quote']

Let us know for sure. I've put mine off till May to co-ordinate other things. I am planning on doing the sleeve at the end if July as I have preplanned vacations on a cruise and too Hawaii - neither of which would lend to a pre or post op diet!! Can't even imagine the cruise on liquids other than those with fruit and umbrellas in them :)

      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!!
