freaking out a bit...



Recommended Posts

I'm having my EGD test done today. Starting to get nervous. I've only been "the patient" in the hospital twice. That was when I had my kids! I've never been knocked out for any procedure! I know this will be a piece of cake compared to the actual surgery but it still makes me nervous. Hope I get good news!

On that note...I've did the sleep study Friday, eval yesterday, EGD today...hopefully things will be submitted to insurance by the end of the week! Keeping my fingers crossed!!! :)

Piece of cake. They'll say are you comfortable? And then you'll say when are we gonna get started? It's over! No big follow up Sx. How did your sleep study go???

I hope things go that fast today!

I was so exhausted from the sleep study! Didn't sleep well at all! Clearly not an accurate test! As far as the results go I haven't heard anything from that yet.

You know, I wonder about that too. I slept horribly for my sleep study and they claimed they got enough of me sleeping for a diagnosis but I honestly don't see how. I went home and passed out I was so tired! Lol! Good luck!

EGD went well! Just like you said...went to sleep very fast and was waking up 30 minutes later! No pain at all! They found a hernia that had been causing all my issues! Thank God they found something!

OMG! Seriously, I did my sleep study last Friday ad I was totally exhausted the next day! I also said that there is no way it is accurate. Lol!

After my sleep study I came home and slept ALL MORNING!!! LOL!!

I wish I had known about the EGD test years ago!! I would have done it and had all this behind me by now! I have also been taught that everything happens for a reason. Timing is everything and it must not have been my time yet.

Cheer Mama you will be fine! I had no after effects. I felt great afterwards. I feel like the world has been lifted off my shoulders for some reason. I finally know that my acid reflux wasn't all in my head and there really is something wrong with me...well physically anyway hehe!

I will be thinking about ya! Let me know how you do! Huge Hugs!!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
